1955 Fonseca Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Decant: 15½ hours - Double decanted for 12 hours, then 3½ hours of proper decanting. The colour of burnt sugar, 60% opaque. Closed nose, some burnt sugar tones. On the palate there is rich texture, medium bodied. Gentle flavours show through a fading structure. Flavours dominated by burnt sugar and burnt orange. A touch of acidity shows on the aftertaste before a long - a very, very long - concentrated orange marmalade finish. Really rather good. 94 points
