The 2007 Fonseca is maturing nicely, with a perfumed, high toned, rich bouquet of macerated black cherries, blueberry, creme de cassis and vanilla. The palate is very harmonious with plush dark cherry fruit, fresh fig, salted licorice and a supple, rounded, spicy finish that delivers wonderful purity and length. This is a sexy Fonseca, perhaps more generous and alluring than the 2009 - a quintessential Fonseca that should peak in 15-20 years time. Score: 95 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 01 June 2013 |

Dark, dense crimson. Very sweet and winning on the nose. Amazingly claret-like in many ways with lots of ripe fruit and ripe tannins and pzazz. Just a bit more residual sugar than on Taylor 2007 but there's a dry, appetising streak here too. A rather atypical Fonseca but a delicious, sappy one.

The 2007 Fonseca Vintage Port is opaque purple-colored with a high-class perfume of lavender, Asian spices, pencil lead, incense, and an amalgam of black fruits. On the palate it is voluminous with layered, succulent fruit, outstanding density, and excellent integration of tannin, acidity, and alcohol. The long finish and the wine’s impeccable balance suggest a lengthy evolution and a drinking window extending out to 2045.
