Description
Fonseca 1963
u. 6bn, 1vts, 5 original bottlings, 7 unknown bottlings with generic labels, scuffed and stained labels, chipped and partially missing wax capsules, slight signs of seepage
...The nose is beautifully defined... It offers walnut, small cherries, juniper berries and a touch of spirit that expands in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with wonderful balance and fine tannins. It has tremendous weight matched by nigh perfect acidity. It is very harmonious, almost honeyed towards the finish with hazelnut and cloves infusing the decayed fruit and hints of menthol on the spicy aftertaste. This is a sublime Fonseca that will last another two or three decades with ease. WA 96 - 02/13
