Item Description
Its unanimous. If you love a great port, this one is for you. Fonseca Vintage Ports have a long-standing reputation for excellence, known for their voluptuous rich fruit, balance and complexity, and a loyal following among critics and port lovers. And the 2003 vintage is no exception. Robert Parker gives it a 96+, and wrote the 2003 Fonseca Vintage Port exhibits a nose of profound depth. Its sweet black mass of dark fruit and spice aromas leads to a character of immense depth, richness, and weight. Full-bodied, viscous, and almost impenetrable, this dense, backward port is powerful and exceptionally long in the finish. Possibly the most masculine Fonseca Ive ever encountered. But hes not alone. The Wine Spectator agrees with the 96 rating and describes it as having lots of grape and raisin on the nose. Full-bodied, chewy and lightly sweet. Serious concentration, with lots of grip on the finish. Just what to expect from a young Vintage Port and recommends drinking this vintage beginning well, right now. So if youre looking for a great port on the young side to enjoy now, this one is ready to go. But if youre seeking a gem to hide away, Parker suggest this blockbuster will require at least three decades to fully blossom. Your choice. This one is a winner in either case.
