Fonseca--Vintage 1977
Oporto-bottled. Slightly corroded capsules. Slightly stained labels. Levels into neck
In original wooden cases
Parcel: lots 183 to 185
Tasting note: On 1 January 1980, the London agent invited orders for immediate shipment at # 48 per dozen F.O.B. bottles, in wooden cases with lead capsules, branded corks, labels and chalk marks. Minimum order 5 cases. Not free storage. Quantity small excellent quality. Very impressive at the opening tasting: deep purple; hard, spirity nose; powerful, well-balanced. At the end of the 1980s still fairly deep, plummy; classic, black cherry fruit nose; very sweet, fairly full-bodied, lovely texture. A great future predicted. However, like a lot of 77s beginning to lose colour by the mid-1990s, a bit spirity and lean but sweet, with delightful fruit. M.B.
