Links for a tasting of Fonseca Guimaraens, interspersed with some Fonseca, at the RAF Club on Monday 4th April 2011.

FG04. Clearly late in the evening, I have no note of the presumably opaque and dark colour; of the nose only ‟wood”; and of the taste only ‟too young”.

Re: 2004 Fonseca Guimaraens
Purple in colour, opaque and cloudy. Lovely nose, full of soft blackcurrants if a little spirity. Sweet fruity impact, masses of dry blackcurrant, very fruity. Tannins are soft but chocolatey. Very lovely palate and with great balance; delicious fruit. Purple plum skins on the aftertaste, followed by a long and fragrant chocolate finish. A lovely wine, probably early maturing and in an elegant style. 88/100.
