1970 Fonseca

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

F70, bottled by Matthew Gloag - not as good as the F66 drunk alongside. More youthful, more red, more fruit and less clove. Good tannins, slightly earthy nose. Nice, but not great. Too young for that at the moment. 88/100. Consumed 09-Feb-22. Decanted 4 hours.
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!
