1970 Fonseca
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 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
