1920 Fonseca vintage port
Posted: 23:49 Sat 16 Jan 2010
Deep colour, intense red but with a transparent centre. Mature and fruity nose; rich, lively and spicy - All Spice over redcurrants. Sweet and intense in the mouth, very fruity and full of rich, mouthfilling flavours. A big aftertaste; a huge orange burst on swallowing, followed by a long and big aftertaste. An absolutely amazing wine, which most people guessed to be 50 years younger than it was. My wine of the night at the 2009 TPF Christmas offline. 95/100. Drunk 17 Dec 2009.
