1960 Fonseca vintage port

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Red core, firm rim; 50% opaque. Restrained with little on the nose. Just some vague rhubarb. Sweet fruit, balanced but with a slight lack of acidity. Good components but less depth than the 1963 shown alongside. Pleasant aftertaste. A little flabby and lacking in focus. 88/100. Drunk 23 April 2013 with a 6 hour decant.
Top Ports in 2022: Quinta do Noval Nacional 1931. I have never drunk such a wonderful bottle of Port. I cried with joy.

2023: Fonseca 1966. There are not many better Ports.
