Description

Fonseca, 1992 Vintage Port

The 1992 vintage followed the celebrated declaration of 1991 and produced a number of impressive wines from leading houses. In the Douro Valley, favourable conditions through the growing season allowed the grapes to reach excellent ripeness. While the year did not see a universal declaration, Fonseca recognised the quality of the harvest and produced a Vintage Port that reflects the house’s renowned richness and aromatic intensity.

Fonseca 1992 Vintage Port is typically opulent and expressive. The bouquet opens with layers of ripe blackberry, cassis and plum, complemented by notes of dark chocolate, spice and a touch of floral violet — a hallmark of Fonseca’s style. On the palate it is full-bodied and generous, with concentrated dark fruit, hints of mocha and liquorice, and a velvety texture supported by firm but refined tannins.

Now entering a mature phase of its life, the wine offers both depth and elegance, with a long, warming finish. It can be enjoyed now with careful decanting or cellared further for additional development. A superb choice for a 1992 birthday or anniversary, and a classic partner to blue cheeses, rich chocolate desserts or simply savoured slowly at the end of a meal.

Reviews

A magnificent port scoring 97 Parker Points.

Reviews "Fonseca has scored in both the 1991 and 1992 vintages. The 1992 is a majestic young port that should ultimately rival, perhaps even surpass this house's most recent great efforts (1985, 1977, 1970, 1963). This colossal vintage port reveals a nearly opaque black/purple color, and an explosive nose of jammy black fruits, licorice, chocolate, and spices. Extremely full-bodied and unctuously-textured, this multi-layered, enormously-endowed port reveals a finish that lasts for over a minute. It is a magnificent port that will age well for 30-40 years." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 1995.
