CAPELA
2016 Quinta do Vesuvio
Showy and vibrant, with stunning, pure waves of açai berry, blackberry, blueberry and boysenberry confiture flavors spilling forth, barely harnessed by a mouthwatering anise note and a long briary spine. Just as this nearly teeters from its fruit, this is reined in by terrific drive and cut though through the extremely long finish, thanks to a wellspring of acidity. Drinking range: 2035 - 2060 Rating: 98 James Molesworth, The Wine Spectator (Oct 2018)

Only the third time a few hundred cases of this special wine has been made from a single plot by the river. Less showy on the nose than the regular Vesuvio. Like blackcurrant compote with wood shavings macerated therein. Very unformed. Defintely for the future but rather jagged and uncompromising for the moment.

This a tiny-production vintage Port from old vines planted in a particular parcel near the winery that are at least 60 years old. Full-bodied, tight and linear with beautiful dark fruits and intense tannins. Very focused and beautiful. The splendid tannins show through here. Drink in 2023.
