TN: 1970 Fonseca Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Decant: 7½ hours - Deep red colour, centre just off opaque. More closed on the nose than the '66 shown alongside. Offering sweet candy and quince on the nose. Sweet in the mouth, still showing plenty of cheek-drying tannins. Good complexity in the mouth with plenty of layers of flavours. Long and delicious aftertaste, with sweet strawberry lingering for a long time. This is good now, but will lose its excessive burliness over the next 5-20 years and will be much better then. 92 points
