  Royal Tokaji Furmint 2005

  Snoothrank:

  A very interesting wine - very reminiscent of a dry version of the sweet Hungarian wines. Strong aromas of stones on the nose. Very dry and steely, but it has a unique intense fruitiness - things like dried sultanas, honey and apricots. Its almost sweet from this fruit. Very...

  Fonseca Vintage Port 1977

  Snoothrank:

Read moreFonseca is one of the great port lodges, producing the most exotic and most complex port. If Fonseca lacks the sheer weight and power of a Taylor, Dow or Warre, or the opulent sweetness and intensity of a Graham, it excels in its magnificently complex, intense bouquet of plummy, cedary, spicy fruit and long, broad, expansive flavors. With its lush, seductive character, one might call it the Pomerol of Vintage ports. When it is young, it often loses out in blind tastings to the heavier, weightier, more tannic wines, but I always find myself upgrading my opinion of Fonseca after it has had 7-10 years of age. The 1977 has developed magnificently in the bottle, and while it clearly needs another decade to reach its summit, it is the best Fonseca since the 1970 and 1963.    (hide)
