1963 Fonseca Vintage Port
Posted: Tue Sep 08, 2009 9:53 pm
Somewhat closed nose; dates, curranty, concentrated red fruits. Firm palate; richer fruit than the above ports with good extract – but still not supple and open enough for readiness for drinking. Some tannic astringency still – quite long. Opens a touch with air to show dense, slightly smokey/burnt fruit. Still unwinding but certainly classic. 94+ today, should improve significantly if it opens out as hoped. 94+ points
