A bottle of Fonseca's Finest 1977 Vintage Port, bottled for sole agents Mentzendorff & Co. Fonseca's wines have been made by five generations of the same family since its establishment in 1822.
'I gave this fortified wine a perfect score in its youth and I think it has finally evolved into its perfection as a mature vintage Port. This is in total balance now with such harmony. What amazing aromas of berry and flowers. Full and sweet, the tannins are complete dissolved. The fruit is perfect. This goes on for minutes. Drink now. But it will go forever. 100 points' James Suckling
