2011 Fonseca
Posted: 08:43 Sun 18 Aug 2013
6,000 cases. Intense violet colour. Exuberant nose showing lots of fruit. Sweet fruit on entry but round tannins grab hold and don't let go. Less aggressive tannins than the Taylor. Dry tannins show on the finish, showing a lovely combination of fruit and cocoa. Fine port with a great elegance to the fruit and clearly with plenty of structure for the future. 94-96. Snapshot tasting on 24 April 2013.
