Fonseca Vintage 2015

Vinification:
Vintage Port is a wine from a single harvest of excellent quality. The wine must be bottled between the second and third year of age, from now on in the bottle.
Castes:
old vines

Test results:
Opaque purple color, almost black, with a very narrow purple rim. Classic nose, with an intense, almost intoxicating aroma of wild fruits. Fruity is powerful, but at the same time very fine and complex. The dense aromas of blackberry and cassis are the base notes for the mentholated and balsamic fragrances of aromatic herbs and the resinous character of the rockrose. Understated notes of exotic wood, licorice and black pepper add an additional dimension of complexity. The palate is built around a dense core of black fruits and the tannins, with their dense, closed tissue, provide structure and volume at the same time. Raspberry and plum aromas add freshness and lightness to the long, lush finish.

Storage and serving advice:
It should be opened two hours before serving and decanted. Serve between 17º and 18º C. Store the bottle on its side, in a cool, dry and dark place.

Pairing with food:
Old ports are drinks after meals. Take them with cheese like Stilton or Gorgonzola. But you can also incorporate them into a meal, combining, for example, a Steak au Poivre with a young Vintage.
