1934 Fonseca Vintage Port

[Markus D.]

1934 Fonseca VP

This port was slightly darker than the 1904 Sandeman, and was more tawny and clearer than the 1935 Cockburn. The aromas were a nicely balanced dark fruit blended with cinnamon and had an almost matured tawny like nose. It has a very crisp acidity, had an almost root beer and vanilla flavour and was a little smokey in the background. Overall, I quite liked this bottle, however it was beginning to show its age and should probably be drank now. 94 points

Tasted on July 31, 2010 as part of FTLOP's 5th Anniversary tasting.
