![]() I very much enjoyed the undecanted first glass, unmistakably '63 grapes, but it was a bit too strong for my wife. The deep purple color really took me by surprise and on based color alone, I would have thought it a '77-'83 first-tier VP. The nose from the glass was big and full of spirit. What an incredible experience it was!įrom the bottle to the glass, the sweet fragrance of the Fonseca was already filling the room. I think it says a great deal about the experience to come and allows us to watch, taste, discuss and enjoy the evolution process together. I don't know if others place the same value or derive similar enjoyment from tasting the first glass straight from the bottle prior to decanting, but we sure do. ![]() ![]() I decanted it for almost 6 hours but shared a glass with my wife prior to decanting. Up to that point, we had tasted a good many other '63's not including the Fonseca and the Nacional. This was our very first tasting of a Fonseca '63. I'm not great on writing tasting notes but I will do my best to convey my impression and experience. I opened a 1963 Fonseca VP on Friday with my wife's blessing in celebration of our decision to join the upcoming Harvest Tour. ![]()
