2008 Fonseca LBV

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Bottled 2013. Soft sweet nose, very open. Mid-weight entry, initially of sweet and modest fruit but then the tannic support comes through. Lovely sweet fruit on the finish. Attractive but slightly simple. 84/100. Drunk 24-Apr-14 at BFT5.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
