1970 Fonseca

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Magnum. Opened 19.00, decanted at 09.00 for 4 hours before being returned to the bottle. Mature and quite dark red in colour, 70% opaque. Restrained on the nose showing a little lovely fruit. Mature and delicious on the palate, a delightful texture, full of fruit giving a wonderful mouthful of fruit and with surprisingly strong tannins. Lingering red pepper aftertaste and a long redcurrant finish. Fabulous. 95/100. Tasted 28-Dec-23.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

2026: DR Very Old White, Graham Stone Terraces 2011, Quevedo Branco 1986 b.2026
