Fonseca
Founded in 1815, Fonseca port has found acclaim with its legendary 1840 vintage (the beginning of a steady stream to follow), and having been the first port produced from entirely organic grapes. Best known for its Bin No.27, these ports retain their youthfulness for decades.

The 2017 Vintage Port, not quite bottled when originally seen, has now been in bottle for a couple of years. It is a field blend (with typical grapes like Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesca, Tinto Cão, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca) aged for approximately 20 months in used French oak. It comes in with 98 grams of residual sugar. This is a great Fonseca, distinctive, with a touch of eucalyptus and plums, but also loaded with delicious fruit. Like its Taylor's siblings, there is also a fine backbone. I'd say it is a step behind the Taylor's duo this year, but not by much. It will age well, to say the least.Inc. GSTSG$994.30 -
