Les Champs Libres Vintage:2023 The 2007 Quinta do Vesuvio

The 2007 Quinta do Vesuvio Capela offers a very similar personality with a bit more of everything

tannic and likely to require quite a bit of patience

racy and offer more minerality than usual

which makes the nose hard to read but the flavors are extremely rich yet retain the fine sense of detail and minerality that Millandes typically gives

as you see the nuances that each place provides to the wines

Les Champs Libres Vintage:2023 The 2007 Quinta do VesuvioThe 2018 Les Champs Libres is more backward than the 2017, deprived the same delineation and mineralit by that summer's warmth. The palate is better with welcome flintiness on the entry, more energy and generosity coming through. A peppery touch on the close ensures this finishes on a high. Tasted from ex chteau magnum at Kate & Kon's 40 Year vertical in Austria.
