2012 Fonseca Guimaraens

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Deep red/purple in colour. Subdued nose compared to the Croft 2012 alongside, fresh and pleasant but not pronounced. Smooth velvet texture, the gentle fruit arrives at its own pace - but only just ahead of the massive tannins. A big palate presence, really big. delicious fruity finish and an immense length. Really tasty port. 92-94. Drunk 03-Jun-14.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

2026: Quinta das Carvalhas 80YO Tawny
