Re: 1970 Fonseca
my #2 of the night.
Sweet coffee back with strawberries and crushed plums on the nose.
One of the fullest mouthfeels with apparent tannins still.
Cocoa dust, Black cherries and a spiciness rounds out the palate.
This finishes with a black licorice flavor that goes on.
94 now but I can see it picking up more of that floralness and complexity in a decade or so.
