1992 Fonseca, Port, Portugal Bordeaux First Growth Named after a twentieth centuryMid deep brick garnet. Mellow notes of old tobacco and old leather, supported by dried black cherry fruit and woody spice notes. Juicy acidity and a fair depth of flavour, but the somewhat grainy tannins stand out a bit, plus the alcohol penetrates the finish. I dont think this is Fonsecas finest.
