From the outstanding 1977 vintage and scoring 93/100 parker points "Fonseca is one of the great port lodges, producing the most exotic and most complex port. It excels in its magnificently complex, intense bouquet of plummy, cedary, spicy fruit and long, broad, expansive flavors. With its lush, seductive character, one might call it the Pomerol of Vintage ports. When it is young, it often loses out in blind tastings to the heavier, weightier, more tannic wines, but I always find myself upgrading my opinion of Fonseca after it has had 7-10 years of age. The 1977 has developed magnificently in the bottle, and while it clearly needs another decade to reach its summit, it is the best Fonseca since the '70 and '63.. Drink now - 2040.

" Despite well over two dozen notes, not a wine I have yet come to grips with. An opaque blockbuster when young, astringent and unready up until the early 1980's. In the early 1990's still fairly deep-coloured; a vast, deep, high-toned, spicy nose; fairly sweet, full-bodied, packed with fruit, extract, tannin and acidity. Then. in April 1993, served at a state banquet at Buckingham Palace in honour of the President of Portugal (impressive: occasion and wine}. In 1994, continuing my name dropping, a powful spicy port' dining with the LloydWebbers in Eaton Square, followed by a full-of-bite bottle at a Christie's boardroom lunch. Most recently - yet again unsuitably served alongside ' Flavours of Chocolate, Hazelnut, Coffee and Pear, Essence of Cherries and Vanilla'. My misguided but generous host, a connoisseur in every other respect, should have known better. Naturally, I tasted the port before the dessert. It was beginning to lose its depth of colour and weight though retaining its backbone and a good classic bouquet and flavour. **** " M Broadbent This vintage port is shipped in a deluxe silk lined wooden presentation box with four wine accessories (corkscrew, wine pourer, drip stopper & wine thermometer) [worth £17.99] at no extra cost.
