1989 Quinta do Fojo Vintage Port
On Decanting
Dark ruby red, cherry with a hint of alcohol on the nose. Light mouthfeel with lots of cherry fruit - extremely smooth with good tannin - a dry finish that became slightly bitter.
+22 Hours
Colour seems even darker than pervious evening. Now powerful black fruits and still very smooth with long tannic finish - very nice.
+46 Hours
Hint of liquorice on the nose - lovely soft black fruits and a long sweet finish. Tannins now fully integrated, no heat to speak of, best showing yet but unfortunately this is my last glass from my last bottle
