1975 Fonseca
Firm red colour with a mahogany tone. Dusky nose, very attractive, full of dried dates and tobacco. Sweet entry, quite neutral; patience allows gentle currants and raisin flavours to develop with a sweet spiciness at the core. Very gentle but very enjoyable flavours. Very soft and gentle aftertaste, then a medium sized but long finish of ripe, sweet dates and concentrated mandarin. 89/100.
