1963 Fonseca Vintage Port from this lot has the following scores - Wine Spectator 98 points, The Wine Advocate 96 points, John Gilman's View from the Cellar 96 points. This is the tasting note for 1963 Fonseca Vintage Port from Robert Parker - This example was bottled in Porto and remained in the house’s bin until this tasting. The 1963 Vintage Port has a dark russet color. The nose is beautifully defined, perhaps this particular bottle less exuberant than other that I have encountered. It offers walnut, small cherries, juniper berries and a touch of spirit that expands in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with wonderful balance and fine tannins. It has tremendous weight matched by nigh perfect acidity. It is very harmonious, almost honeyed towards the finish with hazelnut and cloves infusing the decayed fruit and hints of menthol on the spicy aftertaste. This is a sublime Fonseca that will last another two or three decades with ease. 1963 Taylor's Vintage Port from this lot has the following scores - Wine Spectator 97 points, Vinous 96 points, The Wine Advocate 95 points.
