1977 Fonseca Vintage Port
Lots of discussions about bottle variation in this one recently and this one seemed to fall into that camp. But I wasn’t sure if this wasn’t cooked at some point as I got lots of baked jams and plums on the nose. The palate was sweet first then thick with light white cherries, but simple and hot on the palate and it had a clipped finish. 90 points.
