Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalThe 20 years in wood is very evident, in this punchy, medium-full Tawny. Almost a whisky note on the nose with caramel sweetness offset by textural, strident, cedar-hewn tannins. A more assertive style, as is typical of the brand, this is a proudly firey and gutsy Tawny.Tasted: 21 December 2016Tasted by: Prices:

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalTwenty years in wood casks has mellowed this fruit into a beautifully smooth, silken place, but still one with the characteristic breadth and subtle fiery grip of Fonseca. Heady raisin pie, dried figs, walnuts, leather and peppery cinnamon spice are pulled along an undercurrent of deep butterscotch. Great length.Tasted: 29 December 2015Tasted by: Prices:

Fig, prune, coffee, toffee, peppery, clove, resin, leather, earthy, cement flavours. A very earthy style that should be good with nuts and cheese.Tasted: 06 December 2013Tasted by: Prices:
