Description

A bottle of 1977 Fonseca's Finest 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

This lot comes from the cellar of our Whisky Exchange colleague; author, wine educator and fortified wine authority, the late Godfrey Spence.

Condition

Please see images for fill level and label condition. Note minor damage to the labels. This appears to have a good fill level and weighs approximately 1.33 kg.

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.
