2017 Fonseca, Port, Portugal

Description

With dark, spicy, rich and intriguing fruit on the nose, there is so much there, and it’s so complex. Fabulous on the palate, it’s expansive and fascinating – fine, elegant and intricate, with rich and spicy black and red fruit. Crisp acidity keeps the fruit in check and very fine tannins bring it all together. A very impressive Fonseca. Drink 2030-2050+.

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.
