Fonseca Porto 2000
Other regions Porto Vintage
Somewhat of a lightweight for Fonseca, but undeniably charming, this dark ruby/purple-colored wine offers a floral, exotic, flamboyant bouquet, a sweet, fleshy style, but not a great deal of weight or massiveness. Heady alcohol, sweet tannin, and a velvety texture make for a gorgeous finish
Robert Parker : 96 points

"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."

A peine en bouteille, le demi sec 2018 cadenassé réclame du temps pour libérer son jus éclatant d’acidité. Tendre photo des terrasses de poudingues de Babylone, au jus qui balance entre l’amertume du pamplemousse et l’acidité du citron.

Tasted from tank a couple of weeks prior to bottling, the 2019 IGP Saint Guilhem le Desert is a promising vintage. Spicy oak accents cassis and cherries in this medium to full-bodied wine
