2000 Fonseca Vintage Port

[Otto Nieminen]

The scent is dominated by blue notes: blueberry, violets, chocolate, even a little malty. The palate is very smooth with opulent very sweet fruit, again blue-tinged, but on the mid-palate there is also a good concentration of acids lurking beneath the fruit and much soft tannin. The aftertaste is very long, but perhaps carried more by the sheer force of fruit rather than lifted and carried by the acids. Excellent.
