2009 Fonseca Late Bottled Vintage Port

Late bottled Vintage Port is bottled later than a Vintage Port and since it spends a longer time in wood is ready to drink earlier. The Fonseca Unfiltered LBV is aged in oak vats, where it gradually matures. It is then drawn off into bottle with no fining or filtration.

Magnificent totally impenetrable inky black colour with a very deep dark crimson red black hue. The nose displays intense liquorice, blackberry and black cherry top notes followed by some marzipan, finely integrated spirit and spicy raisin end notes. Rich, full bodied and luscious the palate is packed with flavours of liquorice and Morello cherries followed by some marzipan and Christmas cake with a very spicy finish. There’s a touch of heat present with firm but finely integrated tannins. Long aftertaste of liquorice, Morello cherries, marzipan and spicy Christmas cake.
Cellar 6-8 years.
