F92. Dark red, 65% opaque. Lovely red cherry, great structure. Hint of lavender.

This bottle was drawn from team stock donated to by Stephen Eggis following his conversion to Teetotalism.

Thank you Stephen.

Stored in a flat in Battersea since being shipped to the UK. Deep red with a rose coloured rim, almost opaque. Little on the nose at first, then some faint raisin and rose hip. Mature fruit at first, then sweet and pleasant fruit. Quite punchy on the palate - delicious. Sweet raisiny finish. Lovely port, more evolved and softer than the other bottle of Fonseca 1992 shown alongside. 89/100. Decanted 27 hours.
