Fonseca
Founded in 1815, Fonseca port has found acclaim with its legendary 1840 vintage (the beginning of a steady stream to follow), and having been the first port produced from entirely organic grapes. Best known for its Bin No.27, these ports retain their youthfulness for decades.

Wine Advocate (96)The 2000 Fonseca continues to exude finesse and focus on the nose, with pure blackberry, juniper berries, licorice and a touch of sloes, perhaps as Adrian Bridge remarked, just beginning to close after ten years in bottle. The palate is underpinned by very fine tannins, a sensual, svelte texture with wonderful acidity. The harmony and symmetry is alluring, the finish precise and demonstrating the persistency to suggest a long future ahead. Drink 2020-2060. |
