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.

1994 Fonseca: purple black. A little heat mid-palate (less than the T94), very long and consistently-flavoured during that length. Needs so much time. very tannic. Very big wine indeed. Great wine, which might be ready in my lifetime.

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