Description

A bottle of Fonseca Guimaraens Single Quinta 1986 Vintage port, bottled in 1988 in a wooden presentation box with a decanting funnel.

Fonseca created their Guimaraens label in the early 1950s in a response to increased market demand for vintage ports. Essentially Guimaraens is a 'second wine' from undeclared vintages, produced from the same three Fonseca quintas in the Cima Corgo which are principally responsible for the backbone of Fonseca’s vintage ports in fully declared years. As a house the wines are known for their power, structure, and long-lived vibrancy of fruit.

This Fonseca Guimaraens 1986 Vintage Port sold at our online auction for £45

Condition

Please see images for fill level and label condition. Note general wear.

The Whisky.Auction team has inspected this lot and found it to be suitable for sale. However, please note the absence of a condition statement does not imply that this lot is in perfect condition or free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of ageing. We cannot guarantee that the contents of this bottle will be free from the effects of age, cork taint, oxidation or other faults. Older bottles often contain sediment. Wines are more fragile than spirits and older wines may be listed, at our discretion, for their historical interest rather than their drinkability. We can in no way guarantee that they are still within their plateau of maturity or to the buyer’s taste.

This bottle does not appear to be leaking. While we take every care to pack bottles securely we cannot guarantee that old corks and closures will not leak in transit.
