Fonseca Vintage Port 2016
The weather pattern leading up to the 2016 harvest was unusual meaning that ripening was gradual, contributing to this exceptional quality port. Cool nights meant long, well-balanced fermentations and gentle extraction.
The finely constituted fruit which is a hallmark of the house style, with an attractive minerality. It is worth noting the quality of the tannins, one of the key attributes of the 2016 vintage. This was a year of low yields which reflects the amount of vintage port available.
- Dense purple black with a narrow purple rim.
- The nose opens with very fine pure black fruit, a fusion of black cherry, cassis and blackberry jam aromas. Notes of crushed mint, an ethereal fragrance of violets and undertones of ripe tropical fruit.
- The palate is supported by a vibrant acidity and taut, wiry tannins that provide structure but also texture and volume.
- The fresh berry flavours carry into the long finish. A finely crafted and perfectly balanced vintage port.
Pair with top end cheese, especially cheddar and blue veined, treacle tart and a chocolate pot with cherry syrup.
