Fonseca Quinta do Panascal Port 2001 Vintage 37.5cl

Fonseca Quinta Do Panascal Port 2001 Vintage

This Port is produced only when a general Fonseca declaration is not made, as this wine forms the backbone of a Fonseca Fonseca Vintage Port blend.

Deep purple/black colour. Lovely plump, typically Fonseca, voluptuous. Delicious pungent jammy fruit – compote of cherry and black plum. Rich and creamy. Powerful, aromatic, rich fresh fruit nose. Nice touch of cedar.

Again wonderfully plump, luscious jammy fruit coming through on the mouth. Fleshy, rich, rounded. A hint of liquorice. Great, yet smooth, tannins. Good volume and balance. Nice long, succulent, lingering finish.

Walnuts are an excellent accompaniment to Vintage Port, as are blue veined and other richly flavoured cheeses. So too are dried fruits such as apricots or figs. Alternatively, simply savour the rich and complex flavours of the Wine on their own in a generously proportioned glass with good company.
