1985 Fonseca Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Decant: 8 hours - Imperial College stock. Deep red, some bricking on the edge but still very, very dark; opaque. Youthful and concentrated on the nose expressing eucalyptus and lemon grass. Sweet and full bodied impact, with generous fruit and dry tannins forming the core of the wine. Deep and complex with a wonderful mix of youth and maturity. A huge presence on the palate, but a wonderful lusciousness. Dry cheeks and massive fruit on the aftertaste and finish. A monumental port, still many years from its peak. 93 points
