Fonseca Vintage Port 2016 surges with concentrated blackberry, plum and cassis layered with dark chocolate, violets and a touch of spice, all wrapped in a rich, sweet palate. The tannins are bold yet polished, giving tremendous grip and drive, and the finish is long, deep and firmly structured for decades of development. A powerful but refined vintage that promises exceptional complexity with time in the cellar.

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.
