Re: 2017 Fonseca Porto Vintage...
Picked up a few for the cellar...actually $28 with a 10% 6 bottle discount!
I think the 375's are the perfect size for me here!

Happy 40th BRO!! Always got to have that birth year DP! When I turned 50, I cracked a bunch of 1969 wines...pretty much all year round! Fun to do so... ![cheers [cheers.gif]](./images/smilies/cheers.gif)

Got up to like 80 today! Calls for this wine again...

Pretty consistent showing. A little cleaner with less funk...but totally bright and refreshing. Would love to get a bubbly out of this!

2017 Fonseca Porto Vintage...
Not a big port guy...don’t drink much of it, but have enjoyed a few amazing bottles mainly from Dow that were more on the dry, graphite powder style...07 Dow my all time fav! Just can’t stomach high alc. and too much sweetness. Have local access to some 375’s of the 17 Fonseca...$31. Probably get on...
