Description

A bottle of Fonseca's Finest 1970 Vintage Port, bottled in Oporto in 1972 by Guimaraens-Vinhos.

'An extraordinary Vintage Port, the powerful, exotic, multidimensional 1970 boasts a dark plum color with light amber at the rim. An intoxicatingly fragrant perfume of incense, liquorice, caramel, black and red fruits, and notions of saddle leather soars from the glass of its unctuously textured, full-bodied, velvety offering. This magnificent Port is finally hitting full maturity, where it should rest for another 20+years. 97/100' Robert Parker, The World's Greatest Wine Estates, 2005

There is no size or ABV stated on the label, but this appears to be a 75cl bottle.
