Fonseca Vintage Port 2009 surges with dense black plum and blackberry depth, layered with cocoa, warm spice and a touch of savory earth that reins in its natural opulence. The palate is muscular and sweetly concentrated, with firm, gripping tannins and vibrant acidity giving structure to the lush fruit and setting this wine up for long, graceful evolution. Rich, powerful and already impressive, it promises even greater complexity with extended cellaring.

Fonseca’s Vintage Port is the flagship, traditionally foot-trodden wine from top Douro vineyards, made only in exceptional years and bottled after two years in cask to age for decades in bottle. Characteristically opulent and powerful yet velvety, it shows dense black fruit, dark chocolate and spice framed by rich tannins, and is regarded as one of the benchmark classic Vintage Ports for long-term cellaring.
