Fonseca Porto Vintage Port Blend 1985

Daron Watson

1985 was 1 of the 36 declared vintages of the past 100 years by the Instituto dos Vinhos do Douro e Porto - one of the best actually which they describe as “exceptional quality...a classic vintage, harvested under perfect conditions” Fonseca stepped to it delivering a wonderful that after 30+ years still is powerful yet has integrated any alcohol heat

Lovely chocolate overtones. A very pleasant drinking port. Round and full and rich.

Henry Patland

Very nice and subtle port

Doug Powers

Lovely sweet fruit still, sweetness on palate that is so Fonseca, lovely vintage Porto, drinking beautifully but years ahead of this wonderful Fonseca Porto.

Ben Hearns

fantastic port. not much better than an ‘85 Fonseca

Tony Politano

Starting to open our couple of cases of this. It is ready for sure.

My favorite '85. Delicious fruitcake flavors, and rich. But the really great ports I've had don't come across as rich. They have concentration, yes, but an expansiveness that's impossible for a rich wine.
