[Taylor vs Fonseca @ The Warwick (NYC)]: Dark, inky and closed. Great extract. This has so much potential, but not for drinking now. Score based on potential. I guessed Fonseca, but was wrong. (96 points)

Marco, was this the tasting that I was doing for Acker Merrall?
Anyway, the thing about this particular bottling is ... it needs a ton of time in a decanter to show its beauty now, otherwise it is just overpowering fruit and tannins which forebode the long and winding road ahead.

Ambition driven by passion, rather than money, is as strong an elixir as is Port. http://www.fortheloveofport.com

Yeah, lots of decanting. Oh my those tannins are brutal at the moment. But what a stunning beauty that will probably out live us all.
