Then we moved on to the 1985 Fonseca VP: Decanted 3 hours. Very dark with no signs of age at all. Black berry and mahogany nose. This was a full-bodied wine on the palate, just filling the mouth with big tannins and acid (but very balanced), grape jolly rancher, dark blackberrys and a ultra long finish. This was so punshing to drink due to the tannins and due to such a short decant and needs lots more time in the cellar. A great wine and one of the best examples of a 1985 VP that I've had. 95 Points.
