2009 Fonseca LBV

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Unfiltered and unfined. Deep red with a touch of brick and a medium rim. Subdued nose giving a hint of ripe fruit. Ripe but restrained fruit on entry; modest fruit and modest tannins. Gentle fruit aftertaste. A soft port and modest LBV. 87 04-May-16
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
