2008 Fonseca Guimaraens

Post by DRT »

Cask sample tasted blind in June 2010 as part of this review

Extremely dark. Wood smoke and dark cherry on the nose. Good thick texture with dark, brooding blackcurrant fruit. A big wine with an excellent structure that really fills the mouth. Very well balanced with a very long, sweet mouthwatering finish. Excellent. 94 points.
