Fonseca Guimaraens Vintage Porto

Description

This Fonseca Guimaraens Vintage is a delightfully perplexing wine. The advertised notes of blackcurrant and black cherry blossom into a wonderfully concentrated aroma, hinting at hawthorn – a clear sign of the longevity of the Old Vines. On the palate, this expression persists, with a touch of honey adding a delicate nuance, while the tannins – firm and clinging like velvet – reveal a structure that’s surprisingly fine and balanced. Perfect with a hearty beef roast, or perhaps a classic cod dish with crispy fried potatoes.
