1963 Fonseca Vintage Port

Post by David Spriggs »

Oporto bottled. Imported by me from the UK. Decanted 13 hours. Medium ruby color. Very balanced and spicy nose. A big wine. Totally palate filling. Very balanced on the palate as well. This is all red fruits. Overtly sweet. Extremely long finish. Outstanding Port! I thought it was 1963 Graham's. 95 points.
My 2nd wine. Group 7th.

There's a note on this identical VP from you with the same date. But that one was corked. Were there two bottles, David?

Yes, there were two bottles. There was supposed to be an Oporto bottled example and an English bottled example, except that the person bringing the English bottled was confused and it turned out to also be Oporto bottled.
