1985 Fonseca

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

From the 2017 Berry Brothers Port Walk.

Bought from the Oxford & Cambridge club's wine list @ £60 per bottle. Surprisingly harsh and young on the night. Spiky fruit with hard corners and aggressive acidity. This needs much longer in either the cellar or the decanter. A sample bottle taken home drank much better the following night. 84/100. 23-Nov-17.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
