Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 13, 2021 - On night one: Delicious and woody. Like munching on heavenly liquor-saturated stalk trueats.

On night three (cork on 50% full bottle, no decant): Tremendously more complex and very sophisticated. The wood still a delight, now showing as a wheat-like counterpoint to the wine’s vanilla’d cinnamon. This is true complexity when there are not just multiple aspects but you can’t even tease three out as separate. Extraordinary.

Night six report (cork on 30% full bottle, never decanted): getting a tad oxidized but only if you're looking for it. Cinnamon's turned minty. Still very silky. Should probably finish the bottle this weekend.

Based on this week's tasting, the 1992 Fonseca is in it's window, no need to wait, it will likely even improve for five more years and hold there for another 5-10 now -2032.
