Deep, inky purple core with a bricking red rim. Rich, luscious and highly perfumed nose. Notes of blackberry, wild plum, logan berry, liquorice and a wonderful tension. Cloudberries give that added layer of soft, plump fruit, a mix of raspberry and redcurrant, with a hint of floral sweetness. On the palate, spice, brambles, assam tea with its traces of dark chocolate, cocoa and an alluring herbaceous hint. Good grip, concentration of dark woodland fruit, silky tannins and a fresh bright finish, with incredible length. A powerful and uncompromising Unfiltered Late Bottled Vintage retaining every ounce of aroma and flavour.

 How to serve:  Fonseca LBV is the perfect finish to any meal. Late Bottled Vintage is bottled when ready to drink. It benefits from being decanted and is excellent with fully flavoured cheeses, especially blue cheeses such as Stilton or Roquefort. It is also delicious with desserts made with chocolate or berry fruits.

“Deep colour with mostly black fruits on the nose. a touch green and herbal yet satisfying flavours. really good value.” 90 points Silver Medal, Decanter World Wine Awards 2023
