"Light to medium ruby with bricking on the edge. Spicy cinnamon and red berries dominated the perfume of the ’80. I got the red vine, licorice flavors here too and bright raspberry juice and a hint of vanilla. Full-bodied and smooth in the mouth, actually it was quite graceful and somewhat mature. I like this Fonseca and it shows depth on the mid-palate as well as good overall balance with fully resolved tannins." Roy Hersh, ForTheLoveOfPort.com, Jul 2008 |
