Fonseca Late Bottled Vintage Port 2018

This has a spiced sweet-berry character with hints of cassis, chocolate, vanilla and bark. Full-bodied with firm tannins, yet it is textured and velvety with creamy sweetness and a deep dark-fruited finish. Unfiltered. Drink or hold. 93 points – James Suckling

The wines used to produce Fonseca LBV were drawn from a reserve of some of the best full-bodied red Ports produced at the 2018 harvest, from grapes grown on Fonseca’s own vineyards and on other top properties in the Cima Corgo and Douro Superior areas of the Douro. LBV Unfiltered is aged in large wooden vats and then drawn off into bottle with no fining or filtration. The result is a naturally expressive wine which has sacrificed none of its depth and fullness of flavour. Late Bottled Vintage is bottled when ready to drink. A limited quantity of this outstanding blend was produced.
