1955 Fonseca Vintage Port
Posted: 16:37 Sat 01 Dec 2007
The bottle of 1955 Fonseca we opened was a bit disappointing from the start. It appeared as though it was suffering from improper storage as the Port was a very light burnt orange and rusty brown color. In the glass it was thick and viscous with tons of sediment separation and the scents were of cinnamon and caramel. It had a very rich sweet cherry and caramel taste. Despite the fact that it looked "cooked" and about 20 years older than it was the ’55 Fonseca was still a very good Port, however our particular bottle was probably not "up to par".
