1988 Fonseca Guimaraens Vintage Port

Post by Monique Heinemans. »

Had this one over three days and must say it improved enormously over those days.
The first day (no decanting) the alcohol stood apart, it was somehow disjoined from the fruit, hot, had a short finish, not much to like for me. The second day it already had improved a lot, the alcohol was better integrated, there was a lot of fruit on the midpalet, medium fruity aftertaste. The third day the alcohol had fully integradet with lots of sweet fruit. Medium aftertaste. Not a blockbuster, but overall very enjoyabel. There was a slighty fresh tone also in the aftertaste, I always like that.
