  Fruit and berry driven - elegant rather than powerful. Good length and balance.

  Decanted 4 Hours: Fruity and lightly sweet with great acidity and pretty restrained spirit. Has the beginnings of some good tawny character, and really nice balance. Judging from the fact that it was rather approachable from opening, this should probably be consumed in the near future, as it is at peak.

  Fonseca Offline @ Joost B.'s (Netherlands): Grenadine lemonade on the nose, followed by cinnamon, cherries and band-aid. Sufficient fruit and strength. Fresh, pleasant and smooth. Nice. 15.5/20

  Still a dark colour for a 25-year old off-vintage. Bouquet is a bit alcoholic, cotton candy. Palate is alcoholic at first but a wonderful fruit soon emerges and the mid-palate develops into traditional tawny(!) notes of nuts and caramel. Wonderful long finish.Has improved considerably since my last tasting 3 years ago. Keep or drink now.
