2000 Fonseca LBV (unfiltered)
Posted: 22:31 Fri 11 Jul 2008
This was originally acquired in anticipation of need for the 1st anniversary on-line. Having been a touch verbose it was not required!
This was bottled in 2006. Having just finished an already open bottle of Taylors LBV (2002) the difference again asks the question - why filtered an LBV?
The Fonseca is a drak red colour ( KillerB take note!) and easy on the nose without being too obvious. There is a fruitiness to it, without it being overly obvious.
This is what I would describe as a good easy drinking port at very good value. I would buy more of it at around £11 per bottle.
