Description

Fonseca 2003 Vintage Port

Grapes: A blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz & Tinta Barroca

Producer Tasting Note:

Fine deep colour with brick red edge. Good depth of nose, sweet and harmonious, some spirit on the nose, rich, soft touches of dark chocolate and cherry (cherry tomato). Harmonious, elegant wine, some fine structure with exciting hints of spice and mint, very focused fruit, soft. A delightful Vintage Port now with good tannins to take it to old age. Appears softer than usual. Closing nose. Big fruit, blackcurrant and blackberry, real intense jams with cocoa notes and firm yet silky tannins. Powerful Vintage Port. Fine ripe fruit, good expression, cherry, a charming character.

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"Could this be port of the vintage? A very ripe nose, floral with pronounced violets and blueberry. A decadent, harmonious palate - very focused with a svelte, cashmere texture. Touch of spice, tar and dark chocolate on the flamboyant finish. Very complex and a superb 2003 port. Extrovert, ostentatious, powerful and persuasive. Drink 2025-2050+ Tasted May 2005."

(98-99/100) points, Meal Martin, WINE ADVOCATE, September 2008

"Fonseca vintage Ports are always among the most attractive and long-lived. This 2003 conforms magnificently to that model. It is structured, rich, powerful and opulent. There are cassis and black fig flavors, as well as sweet tannins. It is delicious already, and will remain delicious throughout its long life."

97/100 points, Roger Voss, WINE ENTHUSIAST, November 2005
