Tasting Notes

"Incredible colour, still opaque; sweet mull-berry - like aroma, spirity; very sweet, full-bodied, very rich, long finish, Fonseca have been making outstanding wines in recent years and this is in the top flight."
Michael Broadbent, The Great Vintage Wine Book
" Some people may enjoy this wine´s rather fat rich and powerful fruit now, but I still find it too young for drinking. Deep colored, with smoky mint, tar and fruit aromas, full-bodied, with concentrated fruit flavours and plenty of tannins."
James Suckling, Vintage Port
"The 1970, of course is a powerful Fonseca with a exotic bouquet and lush, creamy, multidimensional flavours."
Robert Parker, Wine Guide
