Fonseca Vintage Port 2009

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalExpect an expansive peppery, dried fig, blackberry jam nose with bits of liquorice, black tea, tobacco, spice and grapey notes. The attack is youthful, ripe and juicy but with a largely tannic palate and big concentration. Black cherry jam, dried plum, tobacco, liquorice, chocolate, pepper and black tea flavours. Lots of power, intensity and fruit that is all on the sweeter side, warmer side. Will need 10-15 years bottle ageing to mature.Tasted: 03 November 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
