Fonseca 1994
24 half bottles per lot
Fonseca 1994 In original wooden, twelve half-bottle cases. Tasting note: Dark red, ruby edge. Dense blackcurrant fruit, very fresh and elegant, incredible balance of fine fruit and the first hints of bottle maturity. A textbook year in the vineyard, with low yields and moderate temperatures throughout the season has made this incredibly dense port with a freshness of fruit in character with the 1963s and 1912s. On the palate, it is very full, with lots of fine tannins, which carry loads of fresh blackcurrant fruit. The youth it still holds today is the testament of how extraordinary this vintage is, and the capacity it has to continue to age for the rest of this century. 24 half bottles per lot
