Ideal growing and harvesting conditions. The last vintage to be shipped in pipe for bottling by the British trade. Lovely nose, fairly sweet, perfect now, will keep, now beyond 2015, ***** Michael Broadbent
I bought a lot of this port when port prices were cheap in the mid to late-seventies, and I'm fortunate enough to have over a case left in my cellar. It is pure essence of Fonseca, filled with spicy notes of incense, licorice, and caramelized red and black fruits, with an intoxicating, extraordinarily ostentatious, but perfectly balanced, pure style. This is as good as vintage port can be, and it has another two decades of life remaining. Score: 99/100 Robert Parker, Hedonists Gazette
96/100 James Suckling, Wine Spectator
