2000 Fonseca LBV (unfiltered)
Posted: 01:41 Sat 26 Apr 2008
Bottled in 2006
This was a pop-n-pour with no decanting.
Very dark with an attractive floral nose. A nice mid-weight texture with lots of ripe black fruits and lots of tannin. The finish is probably the least satisfying aspect of this wine but is by no means disappointing. A very nice glass of port that will no doubt improve significantly in 5 years or so.
I think I will buy some to stick away.
Score: 5:7
