Fonseca Vintage Port Blend 1994

$180

Hold on to your hat. This is the best Fonseca since 1977, and it's probably even better than that classic vintage--more like the breathtaking 1948. Mind-blowing, with masses of color, aroma and fruit flavor. Smells like fermenting berries, boasting loads of crushed grape, violet and berry character. Big, full-bodied and very sweet, with tons of tannins and a sweet finish. Tannic and huge, it's a long-term, great Port. Best after 2012. Wine Spectator

Amazing. Length for days. So many little flavors just keep bouncing around. You can sit and ponder each sip, and the glass could take an hour of you life. That's a nice hourglass! Still tastes like a baby, but in a great spot now too.
