1984 Fonseca Guimaraens Panascal

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

1984 Fonseca Panascal. Pale rose red in colour, 40% opaque. Inoffensive nose, very gentle jellied red fruit. A little more offensive with a bit more time in the glass. More pleasant on the palate, but bitter and light-bodied. Jellied redcurrant finish. 82/100. Guess: MsC84. Was: FP84.
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!

Yellowing at rim. Tastes quite fiery but palate decent.
