NV Fonseca Crusted 2007

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Brick red and mature, 90% opaque. A lovely nose, perfumed and lively. Sweet entry with ripe bramble fruit and toasted tannins delivering a great mouthful. Soft and mature on the palate. Sweet, slightly stewed red and black fruit that delivers a medium bodied impression. Gentle aftertaste with a long and delicious finish. 88 04-May-16
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!
