Tasting Notes
Wine Advocate 96
The 2000 Fonseca continues to exude finesse and focus on the nose, with pure blackberry, juniper berries, licorice and a touch of sloes, perhaps as Adrian Bridge remarked, just beginning to close after ten years in bottle. The palate is underpinned by very fine tannins, a sensual, svelte texture with wonderful acidity. The harmony and symmetry is alluring, the finish precise and demonstrating the persistency to suggest a long future ahead. Drink 2020-2060.

Shaded mid to deep garnet. Some muted spiciness but not the most thrilling vintage port on the nose, though there is good vigour and charming sweetness on the palate and the tannins are sufficiently retreated to make drinking this now a possibility. Dry finish but very persistent. (JR)
