1992 Fonseca Vintage Port

[Robert O.]

Cork crumbled upon opening. Decanted. Mostly alcohol on nose. Raisins and a hot finish on tasting. Mostly closed at the moment.

3 hours -- nice fruit on the nose, alcohol is much better integrated, full bodied with some hints of cocoa starting to come through.

4.5 hours -- starting to open up a bit. Cocoa and a little tobacco.

Next Day: Still mostly closed and unyielding.

I still think this has a ways to go and wouldn't open another one for awhile.

Bob,

I appreciate you opening one of these for us to see how it is developing. Thanks for the post.

Thanks very much Bob. I was about to open one of mine, but it sounds like I should stay away from them for a few years.

All the best,
John
