Axel Probst: The bottle at the tasting was faulty, so I am consulting a tasting note from 2011 with Sophia Bergvist (a direct descendant of the family) and Fonseca’s chief enologist David Guimaraens at Quinta de la Rosa. Surprisingly young red color, with an orange rim. Toffee, coffee, and chocolate are dominating the bouquet. Strong coffee and milk chocolate on the palate. Complex, long aftertaste, with a slight hint of bitterness. Now to 2035.
