FONSECA - vintage 1970
in original bottle
93/100 points Robert Parker, Buyers Guide 1989
1 bottle
Tasting Note:“...it excels in is magnificently complex,
intense bouquet of plummy, cedary, spicy fruit and long,
broad, expansive flavours. With its lush, seductive character,
one might call it the Pomerol of Vintage ports. The
1970, of course, is a powerful Fonseca with an exotic
bouquet and lush, cream, multidimensional flavours.”
DOW´S - vintage 1977
Good level, slightly corroded capsule
Robert Parker, Buyers Guide 1989.
5 bottles
Lying in a private cellar in London
Total 6 bottles
Tasting Note: “This is an extraordinary house that seems
to have been particularly successful with its vintage port
since 1977. The 1977, still a baby, is fabulously scented,
very rich and concentrated, and has a potential longevity
of at least another 30-50 years.”
