2005 Fonseca Guimaraens Vintage Port
Posted: Sat Jan 14, 2012 5:12 pm
Decant: 13 days - 844 cases released, over 3,000 bottles still in stock. Deep magenta in colour, dark and opaque. Nosing of faint blackcurrant pie. Good fruit on the palate, dry but ripe; supporting acidty and the modest tannin are nicely balanced, if a little chalky. The tannins fade to leave a lovely fruit that dominates the aftertaste and leads to a splendid fruity finish. Very tasty port. 88 points
