1970 Fonseca Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Decant: 20.5 hours - One half of a magnum, that was decanted and kept at cool room temperature until served. Mid red in colour, 80% opaque. Delightful nose, rising beautifully from the glass - showing early peak maturity. Gentle entry, perhaps a tiny bit hollow but fruit shows up later. The tannins are still apparent, but gentle and there is a late showing of red jelly bean. The aftertaste is modest but the finish is huge and full of fruit and chalky tannins. 91 points
