2000 Fonseca

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.

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