1968 Fonseca Guimaraens Vintage Port
Posted: Sat Jan 14, 2012 5:12 pm
Decant: 6 hours - Mature red colour, paling on the rim; 90% opaque. Red cherry nose, slightly medicinal. Sweet entry, a little light bodied, but sweet with a modest acidity that doesn't quite support the wine effectively. It does develop with patience to reveal a core of sweet dates and sour cherry stones. The aftertaste tingles, with soft tannins and black cherry stones. Only 48 bottles left in library stock. 86 points
