A narrow magenta ring around a core of inky purple black. The nose opens with a burst of dark woodland fruit dense and succulent blended with fresher more vibrant red berry aromas. A slatey minerality holds this exuberant fruitiness in check. At this stage the nose is still reserved and discreetly aromatic revealing leafy balsamic scents and cedary notes of sawn wood. The first impression on the palate as on the nose is of tightly packed dense dark berry fruit which then explodes on the mid-palate and surges into the long finish. The texture is round and velvety but the taut sinewy tannins and a strand of crisp acidity provide firmness and structure. The layered complex fruit typical of Fonseca holds sway over this weighty powerful wine.
