1963 Fonseca Vintage Port -- (UK Bottled)

Post by John Vachon »

This the same group as the 3/22 TN.

Had the bottling 7 times before-TN-18+ to 19/20.

This bottle at 16/20 is different.

Fourth day-coffee filter-dregs but

I turned off the TV just spent 40 minutes over it.

Great 20/20.

The best glass of the 8 bottles-Wow-I can't explain it.

VP can be unbelievable.

This not the best glass that is 1945 Croft but out of 1500-2000 btl's it is very high.

Maybe bad luck-Bottle tonite-A leaker-why I used it but another 16/20.

Still a great wine to drink-not normally label driven but???

Any idea who the bottler was? I know this can be a mystery. The bottles I have are not marked by the specific UK bottler :-(

No-nothing on the bottle-was told the source was UK.

I drink it year round. In summer, just toss it in the fridge for a bit to cool it down a little (or a lot in the case of young or basic Tawny's).
