* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This is the last vintage of a joint venture between J M da Fonseca and Cristiano van Zeller (the 2005 is a solo production by J M da Fonseca). It’s a dry, dark, structured wine, with some minerality, full of ripe black plums and concentrated tannins.

A joint venture between J.M. da Fonseca, one of the largest Portuguese wine producers, and Cristiano van Zeller. This is a curious wine, which is spoiled by caramel flavors and some toast. Not a success overall, although there is certainly some good black fruit there. Imported by Commonwealth Wine & Spirits Inc.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A young, powerful wine, dominated by bitter chocolate, cocoa and dense ripe black fruits. The wood element lifts this mix of flavors and gives a great sense of structure. Dark figs and herbs add complexity, while the tannins are powerful.
