Fonseca
Vintage Port Blend
Porto, Douro, Portugal
Fonseca 1977 VP. Just a tremendous wine with all kinds of depth. I've had better bottles, but this ones awfully close to the pinnacle.

Aug 12th, 2017Lovely, a great balanced port, what a treat, classy port with delighting tannins, it will travel through many more years, solid fruit, floral notes and spicy touch 😋👏 one of the best Fonseca I have tasted so far!

1977 vintage. One of the great ports of the 20th Century. Tasted immediately after opening and it was still hazelnut vs macadamia nut with the oodles of caramelization. No signs of slowing down. So humbling to realize that ports, such as this, will outlive you and your offspring. Sorry to bring you into this cruel world, kiddos. 12.22.23.

Wow what a delightful flavor profile. A bit of raisin in the finish. Fills the mouth and lasts forever.

Lovely port in a great place and with greater depth and fruit dimension compared to 77 Warre. Some damson, prune and plum, great length.
