Merchant's description
An outstanding Vintage Port, with beautiful maturity and ripeness of fruit together, framed by concentrated tannins. Awarded 93 Robert Parker points, who writes about the 1970 vintage as follows. "With its lush, seductive character, one might call it the Pomerol of Vintage ports. The 1970, of course, is a powerful Fonseca with an exotic bouquet and lush, creamy, multidimensional flavours."
