Description
Youthful, precocious nose of coffee, over-ripe black fruits, raisin and sweet berries.On palate quite spirity, but with very firm tannins, good fleshy weight, characteristic sweetness and plenty of power on the finish. Less finesse than Graham, but singularly attractive and beguiling.

17+/20
Very bright colour, very single-minded nose. There&39;s a lot of fruit but it&39;s extremely focused at this stage. Intense – showing chocolate, tobacco, toasted wood – it&39;s very charming and seems quite developed, being generous with the secondary flavours considering its age.

96/100
The 2000 Fonseca continues to exude finesse and focus on the nose, with pure blackberry, juniper berries, licorice and a touch of sloes, perhaps as Adrian Bridge remarked, just beginning to close after ten years in bottle. The palate is underpinned by very fine tannins, a sensual, svelte texture with wonderful acidity. The harmony and symmetry is alluring, the finish precise and demonstrating the persistency to suggest a long future ahead. Drink 2020-2060.
