1970 Fonseca VP

Post by Eric Menchen »

Reasonable color and slight haze. The first whiff smells quite musty. There is fruit hiding behind that. But I suspect TCA. The corked aroma went down, and I tried a sip which was spicy but not wonderful. It still seemed off and when I returned later I again suspected TCA. Christian Seely, sitting to my right, concurred that it was off. Not scored.

Others around the table I think found this wine acceptable, so perhaps it was just some pours that were bad.
