p77, lated identified as F77: red, 40% opaque. Concisely I recorded ‟red plum fruit”.

Gentle red colour, 60% opaque. Fresh, perfumed nose - actually slightly odd. Very neutral entry, then slightly sour and dominated by acidity, lacking a little in fruit. Dry and berry dominated aftertaste and finish. Surely this can't be a representative bottle? Served blind and guessed to be the Fonseca. 82/100.
