Fonseca Vintage Port 2017 is a dense, dark-fruited powerhouse, layering plum and blackberry compote with hints of dark chocolate, spice and violets over a tightly woven frame of ripe, muscular tannins. Despite its sweetness and sumptuous texture, the wine shows a firm, structured core and tremendous length, promising spectacular 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.
