2003 Fonseca 12

Tasting Note:

The 2003 Fonseca has a rich well-defined bouquet of black cherries aniseed kirsch and dark chocolate that is heady and seductive. The palate is full-bodied with sweet ripe fig and mulberry notes forming the entry. There is fatness here a viscosity that coats the mouth although fortunately there is acidity to keep everything in balance. Warm on the finish a hint of eau-de-vie lingers after the Portwine has departed. This is a harlot of a Portwine but there is nothing wrong with that once in a while _ just not every year!

Stilton Cheese is a natural.
