1976 Fonseca Guimaraens

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Fonseca Guimaraens 1976. Still a bizarre wine, black-red colour, hardly any sediment, tasting like chalk and black cherry. So strange. Not growing up at all. 88/100.
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!

Any kind of flat coke notes on the palate?

Not that I recall, but I didn't have the chance to make a proper tasting note.
