the Symington's have upgraded their fermenting tanks and put innovative robotic lagares into use for this vintage (60% of the grapes came from these lagares).

Fonseca 2000 buy?

Hello,

I am new to the world of port, and I am looking for port from the 2000 vintage as it is a birthyear of one of my sons.

I see where some Fonseca 2000 750ml's are available on sale around $45. Is this a buy in your opinion?

Thanks,
WN
