Fonseca Vintage Port - 2011 (750ml) little cellar 11 99• Bevan Cellars Ritchie VineyardThe Fonseca 2009 has a very sweet, typically opulent bouquet of black plum, blackberry, chimney soot and a touch of pencil shavings that is very complex and alluring. The palate is full bodied with powerful ripe blackberry, allspice, clove and balsamic notes, a roiling, powerful, assertive Fonseca with a sweet, dark chocolate tinged finish that grips the mouth, but it needs two decades to mellow and demonstrate the finesse to balance the intensity.
