Wow, that magnum looks awesome and Vesuvio is pretty good too. I have a 6 pack foot locker of the '08 Vesuvio, but have never tried one. I like to wait 20 years before opening a Vintage port.
I visited Quinta Vesuvio in 2010, what a majestic property. For those who don't know, the Douro valley where port is made is the most awe inspiring wine region there is. Port is grown in schist, on terraced cliffs made hand carved over many centuries. It's one of the greatest feats by mankind and could never be done again. You will have a life long fondness and appreciation of port if you ever visit. Port is a relative bargain for the labor and love it takes to make port. Virtually all of the grapes have to be hand picked. ![]() This goes on for 100+ miles along the Douro river!

If you visit one wine region, the Douro is the place to go. Very old world and not so touristy at all. Heck, they didn't even have electricity out there until 1970's!
