A strong showing from this bottle. Could have went on for days. Amazing fruits, spice and some coffee/chocolate tones.

Candied red fruit but not in a Burgundy way. Rich and delicious, smooth and lingering. Cherry liqueur transitioning into licorice and tar.

Loved this Fonseca. Great to have two 77s side by side.

[9 hour decant] Stunning vintage port, great aromatics, very fine color, super nice balance between fruit and spirits, super long, lingering finish, great wine to celebrate having hot water again in our house (7 days to locate and have a new water heater installed), pretty much a PERFECT bottle of vintage port!!

Well, I thought this was going to be DOA. The cork was completely crusted over and slightly pushed. Yet somehow—perhaps a Festivus miracle—it was still intact, even still slightly sweet. Needed a few minutes and then started to show its earthy, nutty notes. Almost too easy to drink.

Dec 26th, 2017Decanted 9 hours before service, sweet toffee, redfruits and spirit, sweet fruit on palate, nice balance, long, lingering finish, very fine vintage Porto, but doesn’t seem perfect, or close, any longer, merely wonderful.
