"The 2000 Fonseca continues to exude finesse and focus on the nose, with pure blackberry, juniper berries, licorice and a touch of sloes, perhaps as Adrian Bridge remarked, just beginning to close after ten years in bottle. The palate is underpinned by very fine tannins, a sensual, svelte texture with wonderful acidity. The harmony and symmetry is alluring, the finish precise and demonstrating the persistency to suggest a long future ahead. Drink 2020-2060." - 96 Points - Wine Advocate - Robert Parker The 2000 Fonseca continues to exude finesse and focus on the nose, with pure blackberry, juniper berries, licorice and a touch of sloes, perhaps as Adrian Bridge remarked, just beginning to close after ten years in bottle.

Nicholas Y. ★★★★★

The nose on this 2000 is incredibly layered—I'm still picking up new notes of licorice and blackberry each time I pour a glass. It's drinking beautifully now but I can tell it has years left to evolve.

Lucy B. ★★★★★

I was really impressed by how this port manages to be both powerful and refined—the blackberry and licorice notes are beautifully balanced. It’s drinking wonderfully now, but I can see why they say it’s still closing in, so there’s plenty of life ahead. Perfect for a special occasion pour.

Andrew ★★★★★

The nose is incredible—layers of blackberry and juniper berries with that hint of licorice. It's still incredibly focused and refined, even after all these years. I'm glad I waited to open it.
