Fonseca 1985 Vintage Port
Bottled 1987
75cl / 20.5%
A bottle of Fonseca's 1985 Vintage Port, bottled in 1987 by Fonseca Guimaraens Vinhos.
Fonseca's wines have been made by five generations of the same family since their establishment in 1822.
'Fonseca 1985 never fails to impress: tight-knit, dense and minty with a core of concentration and pure berry fruit. Succulent, wonderfully fresh and vibrant at 30 years old. Peacock’s tail of a finish. A real ‘wow’ of a wine that promises to last a lifetime.' 96 pts Richard Mayson
