Nose: gentle
Body: full
Taste: very fine-mature-but some tannin
Aftertaste: grip and burn-deep
19/20
Original source unknown-but rewaxed(my opinion)
All from this batch have been outstanding.

Glad you enjoyed it. This is one of my favorite Ports. Sadly, I am down to my last bottle (until I can find a good deal, again.)

Love the 1963 Fonseca, simply a stunning bottling and vinified by Bruce Guimaraens.

Love this Port!
I do have one question though, what did you mean by "burn deep" in the finish?
