Oporto, Portugal

Fonseca 2003 Vintage Port may be the best of this outstanding new vintage just released. Pierre Rovani for Wine Advocate rated it 96+, with a glowing review: "Possibly the most masculine Fonseca I’ve ever encountered, it coats the taster’s palate with licorice, jammy black fruits, and notes of chocolate that last for over a minute. This blockbuster will require at least three decades to fully blossom. Anticipated maturity: 2035-2060."

Fonseca 2003 Vintage Port was described as follows by James Suckling in Wine Spectator: "Wild aromas, with flowers, blackberries and passion fruit. Full-bodied, massive on the palate. Medium-sweet. The finish goes on for minutes. A mega young Port. Fonseca. What do you expect? Score range: 95-100 (JS)"

Vintage port is the jewel of every shipper's portfolio, the most prized of all port wines. It is generally accepted that the first vintage port was produced in the late 1700s; the first generally declared vintage was that of 1775. The first Fonseca Vintage Port was produced in 1847, and is considered today to be one of the classic vintage ports of the nineteenth century. Fonseca vintage ports are renowned for their great fruit richness and voluptuousness, and, while powerful and mouthfilling, for their breed and balance. In the context of each vintage, they combine the tannic dimension and "grip" which give great port its longevity with the structure and complexity that are Fonseca's hallmark. Among the Douro's first growths, Fonseca Vintage Port is clearly the "Pétrus" of Port.
