Quinta do Vesuvio 2017 Vintage Port

Jake Morrison — Solid after-dinner port

8/10

Saw this on a restaurant menu and ordered a glass to try before buying a bottle. Glad I did. It's smooth and composed, not one of those ports that just hits you with sugar and heat. Good with strong cheese if that's your thing.

Rosa Paredes — Complex and warming

8/10

Opened this with my dad who's the port drinker in the family and even he was impressed. What I liked is it doesn't hit you all at once — you keep noticing different layers as you sip. We had it with dark chocolate and it was perfect. Would definitely buy as a gift for someone who appreciates the good stuff.

Hannah Brooks — Quinta do Vesuvio nailed it

9/10

I've been slowly getting into vintage port and this is one of the best I've tried. Really clear aromas when you first pour it, and on the palate it's got this balanced thing going on where the sweetness, fruit and acidity all play nicely together. Dangerous how easy it goes down at 20%.
