Fonseca
Vintage Port Blend
Porto, Douro, Portugal
Gorgeous and well structured. Still tight. Cellar this one for 10-30 years, it will continue to improve.

Fonseca Port was founded in 1822, grew rapidly and maintained by successive generations of the Guimaraens family. Aged for 20 months in oak and has about 100 grams of residual sugar. Wow grabbed a taste of this youngster. Big and powerful with great fruit structure and complexity. Ripe fruits, cherry, currants and jammy tones, well balanced at its young age. A powerhouse of tannins, lingering and elegant. Need to wait 10 years before you can appreciate its finesse. Tasting Sample.
