1977 Fonseca
Posted: 22:04 Thu 04 Jan 2018
From the 2017 Berry Brothers Port Walk.
Much darker than the Graham 1977 tasted alongside this port, 30% opaque. Fresh cherry juice on the nose, mature but still showing only early signs of mature spiciness with slightly dusty tannins. Delicious on the palate, smooth and round and still showing some fruit of youth. A huge mouthful with just so much fruit! An amazing palate. There is some heat on the aftertaste before the balanced and sanguine fruit finish takes over. This is a fabulous port. 97/100 23-Nov-17.
