The Fonseca Vintage 2016 is one of the greatest ports of this vintage. Many professionals rate it higher than the 2017 vintage, which is generally rated even higher. James Suckling rates it with 98/100, writes "it grabs you" and emphasizes the power and the fantastic grip. There's not much room for improvement there.

Even the almost black color indicates a monumental port, the fruit is ripe and dark, reminiscent of ripe blackberries, black cherries and cassis liqueur, plus a slightly ethereal note that is somewhat reminiscent of mint. On the palate it impresses with its clarity and structure, the finale lasts almost forever, it sticks to the palate without radiating even a hint of heaviness. Balance at the highest level. Breathtaking! A monument.
