Fonseca Terra Prima Organic Reserve Port NV

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalAll the rain this week got me thinking about opening a bottle of sipping port to carry me through the month. After that I was thinking certified organic might be fun and that led me to revisit the Fonseca Terra Prima, organic right down to the spirit used in its fortification. The style is drier and firmer than most ruby ports, bringing some welcome complexity in the glass. The attack is still sweet, mixing molasses, caramel, sweet cassis jam, pepper and pipe tobacco. Perfect on its own, with oven-warmed almonds or dried fruit cake or scones.Tasted: 04 November 2018Tasted by: Prices:
