    Butter yellow
    Pear on the nose, and a little rubber
    Light bodied
    Not very sweet. Tangy but not very acidic. Pear, apple, vaguely pineapple.
    Short finish, tanginess builds.

  • 2011 Fonseca Porto Vintage

    Options

    4/12/2017 - Scheiny Likes this wine: 97 Points

    Fonseca 2011 Vintage Port 375ml bottle. Bottled in 2013. Tasted 4/8/17. Decanted 6 hours.
    Maroon with brick red rim.
    It smelled of cocoa and dark berries, and something cooling like mint or eucalyptus.
    Medium bodied with medium acidity and lots of tannin. It was fruity but equally... the opposite of fruity, earthy? Flavors like tobacco. It's so well balanced I can't pick out individual flavors. It's a seamlessly cohesive and entirely delicious whole.
    The finish was long and chocolately.

    Having tasted this next to BIN 27 I think I recognise similarities, though this 2011 is much better. I definitely like Fonseca's style though I can't define what that is.

    It's hard for me to rate because this is one of the first really good Ports I've ever had. I'm definitely a fan of VPs, now!
