1980 Fonseca Porto Vintage

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Friday, August 23, 2013 - During a four hour decant nose had caramel, fig, grape, soap and brandy

1st glass: rich chocolate but not sweet, light finish that just wouldn't quit
Lighter in color than I had expected, kind of burgundy like in that respect

Glass two: brown sugar coming up more clearly on the nose, seemed sweeter on the palate

Second day
Glass one- quite cold, plum on the nose with more spirit as it got warmer. Fig, plum, cake on the palate. Not as hot as the first day. Syrupy but in a good way

Think I preferred a '83 Taylor's I had earlier this year. Just a bit more in that bottle but this was a good drinking experience as well
