Fonseca--Vintage 1963
English-bottled. Embossed plastic capsules. Bin-soiled and damaged labels. Levels into neck
Tasting Note: From start (June 1965) to finish a consistently beautiful wine. One of the top '63s, and one of the best-ever Fonsecas. Half a dozen notes in the 1990s, but in mid-decade losing colour though still lovely, and a fragrant, elegant Oporto-bottling in 1998 surviving 'Dark Chocolate and Hazelnut Praline' Most recently, medium-deep, richly coloured; cinnamon and cress fragrance; still sweet, fairly assertive, tall, shapely, lissome. Last tasted Dec 1998 ***** Perfect now - 2015 M.B.
