Details
Fonseca geeft de voorkeur aan het rijpen van zijn tawny wijnen in het Douro dal in plaats van het koelere en vochtigere Vila Nova de Gaia. Daardoor onstaat een intens aromatische tawny, volop rijp fruit en een hint van cederhout. Culinaire tip: zalig als dessertwijn, combineert uitstekend met walnoten, amandelen, bessen en donkere chocolade. En wat te denken als begeleider van een mooie blauwschimmel kaas?
Critici over deze wijn
Robert Parker review
The NV 10 Year Old Tawny was bottled in 2013 with a bar top cork. It comes in at 106.7 grams per liter of residual sugar. Some Ports emphasize flavor, others emphasize structure. This starts out with perfect focus, elegant but increasingly intense on the tight finish. Early on, it was all about the structure, with a haze of velvet. The flavors were a bit muted initially, but it unfolded into an elegant and graceful whole with a flavorful finish. Its bright, clean feel always remains as it fleshes out and puts on weight.
All of the Tawnies here have bar top corks. What that typically means is that they are ready to drink and not expected to be aged in the bottle. Barring cork failures, of course, Tawnies are very resistant and can be held a long, long time. They are certainly completely ready to drink now, though.
Decanter
A restrained, vinous nose, followed by a sweet, rich and bold palate. A simple finish but itis still well made, fresh an rewarding.
