On Tuesday 26th March 2024, at The Boot & flogger, we tasted 1994s.
1994 Fonseca
Re: 1994 Fonseca
Cr94: dark dark red; I failed to note opacity. Very very closed, mid-weight, dry, and presented a bit simple. It needs time, at least ½ a decade. It might yet come very good, but not on this night.

60%? opaque - similar appearance to the Taylor. Vegetal, green pepper note on nose + maybe chlorine? Palate very different to nose - more fruit driven. OK, but had high hopes so a bit disappointing. 5-/7.
