2015 - 2060justerini & brooks tasting note
Though yields at Fonseca were lower than usual, they were not quite as paltry as in other parts of the Douro. The 2000 is a monster with its vast array of rich berry currant and chocolate flavours, chewy structure and long smooth finish.

96/100Neal Martin,Robert Parker Wine Advocate
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.
