93 PTS WINE ADVOCATE. The '97 Fonseca Vintage Port offers a floral, exotic, flamboyant bouquet, a sweet, fleshy style; has a velvety texture that make for a gorgeous finish.

Shows fresh, black fruit and dark cherry aromas; concentrated, structured with volume and great mouthfeel, with a fine, long finish.

95 PTS JAMES SUCKLING. The Fonseca '11 Port is very grapy and leafy with hints of spices on the nose; Full-bodied, medium sweet with fine chewy tannins; this young Fonseca truly has grip, yet balanced

93 PTS WINE ADVOCATE. Fonseca 09 has a very ripe sweet prune and fig-tinged bouquet that is very forward; touches of smoke, raisin and dark plum; full bodied with saturated tannins on the end finish.

This Porto has an opulent black fruit nose that carries through on the palate in layers of intense, sweet berry, plum and cherry fruit flavors supported by firm but well-integrated tannins. This is a deliciously textured Reserve Porto - velvety, smooth, succulent and plump.

87 PTS WILFRED WONG. Refreshing and sweet, the straw color Fonseca Siroco White Porto is a fine aperitif wine; packs good weight on the palate without overpowering behaviors; chill it down a bit.

The wine is aged for three years in large wooden vats where they soften and develop without losing their fresh, intense fruity character and their deep ruby color. Bottled for immediate drinking.

95 PTS ROBERT PARKER, JR. The '00 Fonseca Vintage Porto is dense ruby/purple-colored, with an exotic, exuberant perfume of black fruits, flowers, incense, and licorice; expansive, and succulent.
