1977 Fonseca

Post by winesecretary »

Popped, decanted and poured.

Tobacco and tuberose on the nose. Red cherries on the sweet palate - perhaps a touch more acidity would have made it perfect? Delicious port that carried on building complexity throughout the evening.

Narrowly pipped for WOTN (7-8) by a lovely T77

Consumed 30/12/21

Brief notes:

Similar colour to T77. Very rich and luscious.
