Monday 29th September 2008, afternoon, in the Fonseca lodge with Roy Hersh’s Harvest Tour.

Tasted:

• 1970 Fonseca;
• 1985 Fonseca;
• 1994 Fonseca;
• 1977 Taylor;
• 1985 Taylor;
• 1994 Taylor;
• 1977 Croft;
• 1991 Croft.

1985 Fonseca: just like Fonseca 1985. Purple red, nose and taste of stewed young plums, and just too young. Huge. Wait!

Interesting that the lodge tastes from US-labelled bottles (Kobrand Corporation).

So instead look at this picture of twenty-seven Imperials (six litres, eight-bottle bottles) of Fonseca 1985. (Death to silly IVDP regulations!)

I'd say it looks like someone walked away with 3 =)

Explain? Are they not allowed to sell Imperials or something?
