Fonseca, Vintage Port
Arrow

Description

A rare opportunity to acquire a legendary vintage from a house celebrated for its rich, expressive Ports. Ideal for collectors, gifting, or savouring on a special occasion.

An exceptional example of classic Vintage Port, the 1985 Fonseca stands as one of the finest wines of the decade. Deep ruby in colour with only slight garnet edging, this vintage continues to impress with over three decades of elegant development.

The 1985 vintage was widely declared and is considered one of the finest of the decade. On the nose, it delivers a powerful bouquet of ripe blackberries, cassis, and fig, layered with hints of spice, dark chocolate, and dried rose petals. The palate is rich and velvety, highlighting Fonseca’s signature opulence and structure. Dense flavours of black fruit and liquorice unfold into a long, warming finish, supported by finely integrated tannins and a fresh acidity that gives the wine remarkable longevity. Regarded as one of the standout Ports from 1985, this vintage is drinking beautifully now but also holds the potential for further aging.

Excellent provenance. Stored in optimal cellar conditions. Label and capsule in incredibly good condition; bottle fill into neck.
Alcohol 20.5% ABV
