Fonseca 40 Year Old Aged Tawny Port NV
Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalUndeniably alluring tawny, with four decades of cask concentration within its orangey ochre hue. At forty years, the potent sweetness has started to fade, and a lingering subtle savouriness and roasted coffee bean has begun to emerge. Delicate exotic orange florals and plum lead quickly into a quiet graphite note. Generous raisin pie, orange marmalade and intense walnut nuttiness lead the silken, palate, though a persistent grippiness still is evident under the mellow flow. Finishes with exceptional length, and a touch more firey than anticipated for its age.Tasted: 29 December 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $118.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
