About this Item

Fonseca
1996 Late Bottled Vintage
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

'The vintage Ports of Fonseca are perhaps the most consistently great of them all. Not only do they have a striking fleshiness and powerful richness when young, but they retain that youthfulness for decades.' - James Suckling, Vintage Port: The Wine Spectator's Ultimate Guide (1990).
