1963 Fonseca Vintage Port

Post by Andy Velebil »

An odd funky nose of sulfer mixed with red fruit. Soft and full bodied full of sweet fruit, lots of cracked pepper, cranberries come late and a long finish. But there was this oddly strange underlying note that reminded me of being reductive. Good but no where near what this is capable of...an off bottle for sure.

So true, but with any old wine some bottle variation is to be expected :(
