2012 Fonseca Guimaraens
Deep red/purple in colour. Subdued nose compared to the Croft 2012 alongside, fresh and pleasant but not pronounced. Smooth velvet texture, the gentle fruit arrives at its own pace - but only just ahead of the massive tannins. A big palate presence, really big. delicious fruity finish and an immense length. Really tasty port. 92-94. Drunk 03-Jun-14.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
