Merchant's description
An intense and full-bodied vintage port from one of the great Port lodges, Fonseca. This is a superb, rich fortified wine made from a traditional Port blend, offering up scents of spice, raisin and fruit cake. Soft, sweet and ever so slightly plump. Rich and rounded. Flavours of chocolate, spice and Christmas cake. A wonderful match for a decadent cheese board.
