Quinta do Vesuvio - the Queen of the Douro!
2016 Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port...$49.99/750ml
next lowest price on wine-searcher.com...$74.99
Densely packed, with lots of warmed fig, mulled blueberry, açai berry and blackberry paste flavors rolling through, scored with graphite and tar notes, carrying through a finish that has a smoldering feel. A long licorice snap echo adds a lip-smacking hint. Best from 2035 through 2055. Rated 97/100 Wine Spectator

2017 Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port...$49.99/750ml
next lowest price on wine-searcher.com...$67.99
The 2017 Vintage Port is a blend of 33% Touriga Nacional, 35% Touriga Franca, 15% Sousão and 12% Alicante Bouschet, plus miscellaneous others filling out the blend. This was bottled about a month before tasting after 18 months in seasoned vats, but the just-bottled sample was not really ready. This was instead a pre-bottling sample. It comes in with 115 grams of residual sugar. Rated 97-99/100 Wine Advocate
