2003 Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port – Estate Depth from the Douro
The 2003 Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port reflects the scale and character of one of the Douro Valley’s most respected single estates. Known for producing Vintage Ports solely from its own vineyards, Quinta do Vesuvio offers a direct expression of site. The 2003 vintage, shaped by a warm growing season, delivers concentration and structure in equal measure.
Tasting Notes
The nose reveals aromas of blackberry, cassis, fig, and dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is full and structured, offering layers of ripe black fruit supported by firm tannins and balanced sweetness. Notes of spice, licorice, and dried fruit develop through a long, persistent finish that continues to evolve with age.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
Produced from traditional Douro varieties including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz, the wine is sourced entirely from Quinta do Vesuvio’s estate vineyards. Fermentation is halted with grape spirit to retain natural sugars, followed by aging in large oak vats before bottling. The 2003 growing season delivered concentrated fruit with notable depth.
Investment & Collectibility
Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Ports are valued for their estate-driven identity and consistent quality. The 2003 vintage offers both maturity and continued aging potential, appealing to collectors seeking developed Douro wines with structure and provenance.

Packaging & Temperature-Sensitive Shipping
To protect wine quality, all orders are packed in EPS foam shippers, with gel packs when necessary.
Wine is temperature-sensitive and may be affected by excessive heat, freezing temperatures, or significant temperature fluctuations during transit. During periods of elevated temperature risk, we strongly recommend selecting Next Day Air service whenever available.
Customers requesting shipment during warm or cold weather conditions must review and agree to our Temperature Protection & Shipping Policy. By requesting shipment, customers acknowledge and accept the risks associated with temperature exposure, carrier delays, failed delivery attempts, and other transit-related conditions outside of Angry Wine Merchant's control.
For OWC (Original Wooden Case) orders, bottles are removed and shipped in foam for safety. The wooden case ships separately via Ground unless otherwise requested.
Weather Holds & Free Storage
In periods of extreme heat or cold, we reserve the right to delay shipment until safer conditions return. Customers may also request that we hold an order for future shipment.
We offer complimentary temperature-controlled storage for up to 6 months from the date of purchase. Select the "Hold for Weather" option at checkout and we will coordinate shipping at a later date.
Insurance
We provide free shipping insurance for loss or visible damage during transit, subject to carrier terms and conditions.
Shipping insurance does not cover deterioration in wine condition resulting from heat exposure, freezing temperatures, temperature fluctuations, carrier delays, missed delivery attempts, carrier holds, or other temperature-related transit conditions. Please review our Temperature Protection & Shipping Policy for more information.
Adult Signature Required
All shipments of alcohol require an adult signature (21+) upon delivery. Carriers will not release packages without adult authorization.
Customers are responsible for ensuring that an eligible adult is available to receive the shipment on the first delivery attempt. Additional charges may apply for re-delivery, redirection, failed delivery attempts, returned shipments, or reshipment.
