2001 Fonseca Quinta do Panascal Vintage Port

Post by Paul Fountain »

375ml bottle, 8 hr decant
White pepper and cinnamon on the nose. Cocoa, cardamom cinnamon on the front palate, with cocoa being really overt. The flavours were really quite lovely but overall this lacks complexity and finishes a little short.
A day later, the nose had changed somewhat and there was more Eucalyptus and vanilla on the nose. The cocoa is still present but is dialed down somewhat. There is a sweetness coming through on the palate with some raspberry and black tea, but it still lacks a bit of complexity and length. Possibly a bit shut down at the moment. 88 points
