Description
Fonseca Vintage Port 1994owc
Bottle (12)
“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.” (100 pts. James Suckling, Wine Spectator, April 1997)
"One of the most spectacular 1994s, this opaque purple-colored wine is an exotic, flamboyant, ostentatious port. Extremely fragrant and pungent, with a flashy display of jammy cassis, pepper, licorice, and truffles, this port is an attention-grabber. Awesomely rich, and full-bodied, with superb length, richness, and overall balance, it possesses a huge mid-palate, layers of flavor, an unctuous texture, and a blockbuster finish." (97 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Oct. 1996)
“Medium dark ruby with dark strawberry red rim. Austere nose required a lot of work swirling. Mostly purple fruit and floral fragrances. Medium weight, soft and subtle VP, quite elegant and smooth with loads of chalky tannins. Figgy, plums and cocoa, add depth to the middle. I like this a lot. Approachable now, but this will easily cellar for at least another three or four decades.” (94+ pts. Roy Hersh, For the Love of Port, Oct. 2014)
