Fonseca Unfiltered LBV 2003/2004
Great intensity of fruit on the nose. Pungent, fresh, plum and jam aromas. Excellent volume, wonderful mouth-filling wine. Fruit flavours on the mouth are also strong and fresh – raspberry, cherry, black plum. Good tannic structure. Long flavoursome finish.
This superb Late Bottled Vintage is aged to full maturity in oak vats of 50 pipes capacity. It is then drawn off into bottle with no fining or filtration.
As a result, the wine loses none of its richness and concentration and preserves all of its natural fullness of body and flavour. As the wine is not filtered, a haze or light sediment may form after a year or two or if the wine is subjected to the cold. This is a natural process and if it occurs, the wine should be decanted.
