"Tasting vom 13.02.2015

Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, schwarzer Kern, violette Reflexe. Schwarzes Beerenkonfit, Cassis und Brombeeren, feine Edelholzanklänge, dunkle Schiefermineralik im Hintergrund. Saftige Süße, eleganter Körper, frische Struktur, bereits gut eingebundene Tannine, Nougat und Brombeeren im Nachhall, wirkt lebendig, mineralische Nuancen."

"2011 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2013

A powerful, spicy wine, luscious in its peppered berry fruits and sweet tannins. The structure is dramatic, offering a smooth texture as well as a drier core. With its weight, density and dark, final character, this is a wine for serious aging."

The Fonseca 2011 is typically more forthcoming on the nose compared to the bashful Croft: a strident bouquet with lifted scents of freshly picked blackberries, kirsch, crushed stone and a dash of Hoi Sin and oyster sauce. It is very well-defined, very focused and direct. The palate is silky smooth with not a rough edge in sight, though not a typically voluptuous Fonseca because of the keen thread of acidity and the structure that lends this mighty Port wonderful backbone. A slight viscosity on the finish lacquers the tongue and indicates a core of sweet fruit is ticking away underneath that will surely explode several years after bottling. A tincture of salted licorice on the aftertaste is very attractive. This will turn out to become an outstanding Fonseca, the growing season taming its exuberance with spectacular results. So much potential, but just 6,000 cases were produced. Tasted May 2013. Published: Jun 28, 2013  When to drink: 2035 to 2080
