FONSECA

Fonseca 10 Year Old Port In Tube

Trust your Taste

Ripe fruit and plum meet subtle oak in this silky ten-year-old tawny. Sweet and smooth, it is balanced by fresh acidity and a little tannin grip. Try it if you enjoy Port with a rounded middle and a lively finish.

PalateKeyBr · Broad & Generous
?

Generous presence and fruit, balanced by structure or mature complexity, favour Broad palates. PalateKey groups wines by how they feel, helping you find styles you enjoy. Your own taste comes first.

This suits you if you enjoy silky tawny with ripe plum, freshness and some grip.

It may not suit you if you prefer very mellow acidity and almost no tannin.

How this wine feels

This feels silky but still shaped by some grip. Ripe plum fills the middle, while freshness gives the sweet finish lift and definition.
