I liked this bottle alot.

Nose of cinnamon, cardimon and honey. Tastes of spicy honey graham crackers, cloves and strawberries. Thin and light on the body, lacking the power I expect from a Fonseca.

A wonderful 40 second finish of mint and red berries.

At bottle opening a big spiciness to the palate, but 5 hours later it totally shut down, disjointed alcohol, opened up at 7-8 hours again.

Recommended decant for my bottle would have been 6-8 hours.

89. It's a thin for a fonseca but enjoyable now.
