[Taylor vs Fonseca @ The Warwick (NYC)]: Dark, inky and closed. Great extract. This has so much potential, but not for drinking now. Score based on potential. I guessed Fonseca, but was wrong. (96 points)

Marco, was this the tasting that I was doing for Acker Merrall?
Anyway, the thing about this particular bottling is ... it needs a ton of time in a decanter to show its beauty now, otherwise it is just overpowering fruit and tannins which forebode the long and winding road ahead.

Indeed it was. Any chance of you doing something like this again in the future for Acker Merrall?

Good call on waiting on this Marco.
Yeah, lots of decanting. Oh my those tannins are brutal at the moment. But what a stunning beauty that will probably out live us all.
