1955 Fonseca Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Decant: 20 days - Baked terracotta colour; 70% opaque. Mature fruit and raisins on the nose, stewed and spiced with cinnamon although a little faint. Warm fruit, rich in flavour but on the lighter side of medium bodied; thick in texture. Very flavoursome, elegant with good and rich depth of flavour. Vanilla on the aftertaste, followed by a long and rich ginger and orange. This is a rich and lovely wine that drinks beautifully today - and needs no rushing. Very elegant, very well balanced. 95 points
