Fonseca 1960, bottled by Peatling & Cawdron:

[Alex Bridgeman]

Fonseca 1960, bottled by Peatling & Cawdron. A lovely evolved brick-red colour; 50% opaque. Sweet fruit on the nose, dried and concentrated. Just as concentrated on the palate, sweet black fruit - ripe with a hint of black liquorice and a sprinkling of tannins. Big and glorious aftertaste. Such a delicious wine! My wine of the night. 96/100. Tasted 23-Jul-2024.
