Dark, dense crimson. Very sweet and winning on the nose. Amazingly claret-like in many ways with lots of ripe fruit and ripe tannins and pzazz. Just a bit more residual sugar than on Taylor 2007 but there's a dry, appetising streak here too. A rather atypical Fonseca but a delicious, sappy one.

The 2007 Fonseca Vintage Port is opaque purple-colored with a high-class perfume of lavender, Asian spices, pencil lead, incense, and an amalgam of black fruits. On the palate it is voluminous with layered, succulent fruit, outstanding density, and excellent integration of tannin, acidity, and alcohol. The long finish and the wine's impeccable balance suggest a lengthy evolution and a drinking window extending out to 2045.

A subtle yet powerful young Vintage Port, with freshly sliced plum, citrus and mulberry on the nose. Full-bodied and medium sweet, with a solid core of powerful tannins and a long, balanced finish. So tight and reserved. Muscularly structured.
