Fonseca Vintage Port 1985

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalThe '85 harvest was a giant yielding the most Port in the last 50 years. Our sample was a touch musty on the nose but on the palate, it is a blockbuster. At the 30-year mark it is supple and round with plenty of brown spices, licorice, still some spirit and along warm palate. It's starting to lose a little color but it remains one of the best of the vintage as its primary licorice chocolate and coffee flavour morph into something more mellow and complex. A beautiful creamy soft round, opulent port that is ready to drink.Tasted: 29 December 2015Tasted by: Prices:
