- Description
- Fonseca's 2016 vintage port draws from two Douro Valley vineyards, balancing dark fruit intensity with aromatic complexity. Black fruit and bramble jam dominate the nose alongside crushed mint, violets, and ripe mango, while the palate shows black cherry, cassis, blackberry, and fresh-cut grass in fine detail. This well-structured vintage will develop for years but can be enjoyed now.
