Fonseca Wines

"A Portuguese winery with over two hundred years of excellence under their belt, Fonseca delivers astounding quality red wine every year. With a tradition like that, there’s no doubt as to their ability to remain on top of the market for the foreseeable future. Their wines are approachable enough for a complete novice while still having the ability to bring tears of joy to a viticultural veteran’s eyes.

When it comes to those who appreciate wine, it’s not uncommon to encounter a taste for sweets. The fluffy and delicious flavor of Fonseca wines makes them perfect for parties, as they’re super-accessible and relatively light. Bring them out when that special someone comes over to set the mood or gift a bottle or two to a friend at a wedding or celebration. "

1985 Fonseca, Dessert

The 1985 Fonseca is still youthful in appearance with hardly any ageing on the rim. The nose offers kirsch, sloes and Christmas cake. With time, there are subtle notes of dried fig and dates beginning to emerge and add to the complexity. The palate is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced on the supple, rounded entry. It is not quite as complex as the aromatics, with dates and dried fig, the finish mellow and refined. It is very elegant for a Fonseca, weighty but supremely well focused. This is a fabulous Fonseca that is ready to drink now, but will age for another 30 or 40 years. Drink now-2030+.Robert Parker Neal Martin | 93 RP-NMVery dark and youthful ruby-purple.
