2016 Fonseca Vintage Port 1.5L
Description
Deep purple color with a fine purple rim. The nose displays very fine and pure black fruit, a fusion of black cherry, cassis and blackberry jam aromas, with notes of crushed mint, an ethereal fragrance of violets and hints of ripe tropical fruit. The year has given an additional layer of purity and refinement to Fonseca's subtle and complex fruit character, as well as an attractive minerality. In the mouth it is supported by vibrant acidity and taut tannins that provide structure but also texture and volume. Fresh berry flavors remain through the long finish. A finely crafted and perfectly balanced Vintage Port.
Fonseca has belonged to the first rank of Vintage Port producers since the mid-nineteenth century. Fonseca Vintage Ports are noted for their luscious fruitiness which develops great opulence and complexity with age. Wines born of inspired winemaking and a thorough understanding of viticulture and terroir, they appeal, perhaps more than any other house's Vintage Ports, to the enthusiast and connoisseur.
