Vintage Port 2000 Fonseca

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (95)

Dense ruby/purple-colored, with an exotic, exuberant perfume of black fruits, flowers, incense, and licorice, this unctuously-textured, full-bodied port is one of the most concentrated of the vintage. Sweet, expansive, and succulent, this large-scaled, but remarkably well-balanced effort is surprisingly forward and accessible (by Fonseca's standards). Anticipated maturity: 2006-2025.

Fabulous nose of crushed raspberries, blackberries and licorice. Full-bodied and velvety, with superclean fruit and a long finish. Beauty. Very harmonious for Fonseca.

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)
