TN: 1963 Fonseca Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Decant: 6 hours - Deep red colour. By far the deepest in colour of the '63s. More red and less brown that the others. Warm and inviting nose of strawberries. A hint of alcohol. Very full into the mouth, sweet but not flabby. Strawberry syrup with a simple mid-palate hinting at more to offer. Good length, dominated by chocolate flavours. My first experience of the Fonseca '63. Surprisingly simple (although very good) for what I have heard and read about this wine. Is this all it has to offer? 96 points
