Notas de Prova: Os rendimentos extremamente baixos da vinha do Vesúvio produziram um vinho de concentração e riqueza inigualáveis ​​e de cor púrpura profunda. Aromas florais de eucalipto e esteva. Sabores intensos de fruta muito madura e rica groselha preta. A combinação de todos os elementos fundamentais deste vinho proporcionar-lhe-á uma grande longevidade.

A sugestão de harmonização e serviço do Quinta do Vesúvio 2007 tornará certamente qualquer almoço ou jantar memorável. É um acompanhamento fabuloso para sobremesas de chocolate, como pudim de chocolate, mas também pode ser apreciado sozinho – é uma experiência por si só.

Decantação Deixe a garrafa em pé um pouco antes de decantar (20 a 30 minutos no máximo). Puxe a rolha lenta e firmemente e deixe a garrafa por alguns minutos. Limpe o gargalo da garrafa. Despeje o vinho em uma garrafa limpa e enxaguada. Depois de começar a despejar, não pare até ver os primeiros vestígios de sedimentos começarem a aparecer na garrafa. Você pode preferir usar um funil de decantação.

Tasting Notes: The extremely low yields of the Vesuvio vineyard produced a wine of unparalleled concentration and richness and with a deep purple colour. Floral aromas of eucalyptus and gum cistus. Intense flavours of very ripe fruit and rich blackcurrant. The combination of all the fundamental elements in this wine will give it great longevity.

Food pairing suggestion and serving Quinta do Vesuvio 2007 will surely make any lunch or dinner a memorable one. It is a fabulous accompaniment to chocolate desserts, such as chocolate pudding, but can also be enjoyed on its own – it is an experience in itself.

Decanting Stand the bottle upright for a short while before you intend to decant (20 to 30 minutes at most). Pull the cork slowly and steadily and leave the bottle for a few minutes. Clean the neck of the bottle. Pour the wine into a clean and rinsed decanter. Once you have started pouring do not stop until you see the very first traces of sediment begin to appear out of the bottle. You may prefer to use a decanting funnel.

Reviews & Awards:

96 out of 100 Points “A great vintage of Vesuvio, this is completely Douro in its flavors, a bold stroke of color across the palate, a rush of green, red, blue and purple. It’s plump, if not downright fat, but it’s ripped by tannin, with a pervasive schistiness that makes it grand. Those resonant tannins combine with vibrant spice, licorice and green herb to create a hum of energy around all the fruit. The wine vibrates with power, intensely compressed. Drink it young to be wowed, or cellar it for decades; it’s anyone’s guess when this will calm down.” Wine & Spirits Magazine, December 2009

18 out of 20 Points “Fine, pure, opulent, fragrant fruit; rich, spicy tannins with bitter chocolate concentration; fine and focused. Nothing over-ripe here this year, yet impressive for its ripeness and opulence. Foot trodden by all Symington family members!” Richard Mayson, Decanter Magazine, August 2009
