May 1, 2023 - Opened by Allred. I don't drink many LBV's. Deep purple color. Notes of raisins and prunes with a meaty texture. Not as deep or concentrated as most of the vintage ports I've had. 88 points.

April 29, 2023 - 4th Saturday Brown Bagger (EBCC): Popped and poured. Plum, fig and raisin on the nose and palate. Integrated and balanced. Drinking well.

December 28, 2022 - See also my previous notes; this bottle was more vivid than the previous and delicious.

October 3, 2021 - No cork problems, this port becomes riper and force has to change in complexity, but I'm not completely sure this wine will succeed.
However a lovely port with ripe fruit, a smooth taste, some tannins in the final and less dry than I expected from Fonseca.1 person found this helpful Comment
