Fonseca Vintage Port 1992

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, Portugal1992 is a member of the split vintage declarations of 1991 and 1992 where most producers declared the 1991 crop. The nose is a splendid mix of earth and spice. On the palate the textures are supple and smooth mixing sweet youthful fruit with chocolate and a touch of mineral. Not near as big as the 2000 or as robust as the 94 but this is solid port and will please many palates. IT will also be drinking sooner say 2010 through 2020.Tasted: 25 May 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
