DESCRIPTION
A robust, full and exuberant traditional style of Late Bottled Vintage.
The lowdown:
Late Bottled Vintage denotes a port from a specific year that's been allowed to age in cask for a number of years before bottling. When labelled unfiltered, as here, they should be decanted before serving because they may contain sediment. With exceptional body and grip produced primarily from foot-trodden wines from Fonseca's own vineyards their Unfiltered LBV is intense, firm and long on the finish, with an impressive depth and complexity in the rich Fonseca style. This shows in the intensity and compleity of the dried fruit flavours and impressive depth. Signing off it has a wonderful mouthfeel and lingering finish full of flavour.
When to drink:
It's a great port to finish a meal with especially with full flavoured and mature veined cheeses.
PRODUCER
Fonseca
In the early 19th century Manuel Pedro Guimaraens purchased the Fonseca & Monteiro Company of Porto which is the event considered to be the founding of this leading Port Shipper. Today the firm is properly known as Fonseca Guimareans and is under the ownership of the Taylor Flagdate partnership, one of the leading lights of the Port industry, who also count illustrious names such as Taylors and Croft among others as part of their stable.
It's managed by head winemaker David Guimaraens who is from the 6th generation of the family involved in the wine business. Over recent years Fonseca's Vintage Ports have achieved considerable success and currently command among the highest prices. Much of their fruit comes from Quinta do Panascal and Quinta do Val Muros. The house style is for firm, fresh Ports with good structure and flavour.
