1983 Fonseca Porto Vintage 83 Points
Portugal, Douro, Porto
(8/11/2023)
Dusty amber in color. Red fruit with some Christmas spice underneath. The smooth but intense mouthfeel exhibits slightly cloying sweetness and red currents on the finish. There is some spirit on the finish. The quality just isn't there but this also isn't undrinkable.

1983 Taylor (Fladgate) Porto Vintage 86 Points
Portugal, Douro, Porto
(8/11/2023)
Amber in color with slight pink hues on the edges. Red fruit compote and chocolate notes on the nose. The intense mouthfeel showcases Bing cherry and dark chocolate, though a slight bitterness on the finish detracts from the overall experience. Overall this wine feels slightly disjointed. Good components but they just don't come together in the right way.
