1970 Fonseca Vintage Port

Post by Marco D. »

[Taylor vs Fonseca @ The Warwick (NYC)]: Nice, but a bit of alcohol showing. Spirity, light. Needs more decanting? I've had (much) better examples of this wine. I guessed Taylor, but was wrong. (90 points)

I guessed Taylor and was wrong too. It was not a great showing and I agree 100% that this needed another five or six hours of decant time as a splash decant just did not do it any justice. [dash1.gif]
