2008 Fonseca Guimaraens Vintage Port
Posted: Sat Aug 07, 2010 5:27 am
A cask sample tasted blind as part of this review of the 2008 vintage.
Extremely dark. Wood smoke and dark cherry on the nose. Good thick texture with dark, brooding blackcurrant fruit. A big wine with an excellent structure that really fills the mouth. Very well balanced with a very long, sweet mouthwatering finish. Excellent. 94 points.
