Fonseca Vintage Port Guimaraens 1991

93 points Robert Parker: "Fonseca has scored in both the 1991 and 1992 vintages. The 1991 Guimaraens is the most impressive bottle I have tasted of this offering. The opaque purple color, and sweet, copious aromas of cassis, licorice, and flowers, are followed by a supple, rich, full-bodied, precocious tasting port that is already easy to drink. While it will be quick to develop, it still requires another 4-5 years of aging. It is extremely impressive because of its sumptuous texture and rich, pure fruit. (2/22/95)"

93 points Wine Spectator: "Fabulous blackberry and berry aromas follow through to a medium- to full-bodied palate. Medium sweet, with a refined, silky finish. Still shows tannic astringency, but superlong and gorgeous, with a chocolate character. Just starting to be ready. (5/31/05)"

90 points Roy Hersh (For The Love of Port): "Opaque dark ruby color with considerable browning on the edge. Fresh lilac fragrance along with spicy red licorice, leather and Sultana notes. Another finely tuned VP eliciting a soft, warm and smooth presence; with raspberry and redcurrant flavors that are ripe and sweet. The 1991 Guimaraens is harmonious and graceful, with a warm and nutty aftertaste that follows a medium-long finish. Ready to drink today, but the upside is ten to fifteen years or so from here.
