Fonseca Vintage Port 2000 Overview

A powerful yet refined award winning vintage, now coming into its prime while still offering decades of ageing potential. Opulent nose of blackcurrant and plum layered with spice and floral notes. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, supported by ripe, chewy tannins and a long, richly fruited finish.

Enjoy with walnuts, figs, apricots, or strong cheeses, or simply savour it on its own. Perfect for special occasions, after-dinner indulgence, or sharing with friends during memorable evenings.

Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes:

  • Inky purple in colour.
  • It opens with a complete, deeply layered nose showing concentrated blackcurrant and plum, overlaid with spicy and floral notes.
  • The palate is full‑bodied and velvety, with ripe, chewy tannins giving structure and grip.
