2016 Fonseca, Port, Portugal

Description

Fonseca is always the fleshier, more exuberant of the main Houses and nowhere is this more clearly seen than in 2016. Rich and sweet, overflowing with pure blackberry fruit, it is quite something to taste. There is a sumptuousness about this Port which marries well with the evident yet supple tannins of the vintage. This is a noholds-barred, fruit-forward powerhouse which will retain its punch for many years to come. Drink 2028-45+. Catriona Felstead MW, Buyer

About this wine

Touriga Nacional

Touriga Nacional is a highly regarded grape variety indigenous to Portugal, often considered the country's flagship red grape. Known for its intense aromas and flavours, the wines typically feature dark fruits such as blackberries, blueberries, and plums, along with distinctive floral notes like violets and hints of spices, herbs, and chocolate. These generally have high tannin levels, good acidity, and deep, dark colour, contributing to their structure and ageing potential.
