This wine is rich and opulent with the classic nose of ‘violets’. This wine is dark, almost ink-purple. On the palate, has layers of rich concentrated fruit, the tannins are strong, but ripe. This is one of Vesuvio’s finest ever wines 
 
Food-Pairing 
This port is delicious with foie gras, certain cheeses (Gorgonzola, Roquefort), as an aperitif or as dessert wine
