FEATURES
🏰 **Fonseca's 1995 Guimaraens Vintage Port is a beautifully matured fortified wine, offering a more approachable yet equally complex expression of the house's signature style, with concentrated raspberry jam aromas and a luscious palate of chocolate, prune, and licorice.** While the 1995 Port vintage was generally considered challenging, Fonseca's Guimaraens bottling, made in "non-classic" years, showcases an attractive rich, jammy character. After nearly three decades, this Port presents fresh, concentrated aromas of raspberry jam with herbal nuances, evolving into a splendid bouquet of blackberry, black plum preserves, and dark spice. The mouthfeel is delicious, fat, and full of chocolate, prune, and licorice flavors, supported by firm tannins and a soft, velvety texture, leading to a wonderfully long finish. This wine embodies the elegance of an aged Port, where youthful fruit has integrated with tertiary notes, offering a rich and contemplative experience.
🍴 This exquisite Vintage Port is a classic pairing with mature blue cheeses such as Stilton, Roquefort, or Gorgonzola, where its powerful flavors beautifully complement the cheese's piquancy. It's also a superb match for dark chocolate desserts, especially those with red fruits, chocolate cake, or fig and walnut cake. For a simpler pleasure, enjoy it with dried fruits or walnuts, or simply savor its complex flavors on its own.
🥂 Perfect for an after-dinner indulgence, a festive celebration, or as a thoughtful gift for a connoisseur of fine fortified wines.
*Serving Suggestion for Older Wines:* This Port will have thrown a natural sediment, so stand the bottle upright for several hours (or even a day) before serving to allow the sediment to settle. Decanting is highly recommended to separate the clear wine from the sediment and allow it to breathe, ideally 30-60 minutes before serving. Serve between 16-18°C (60-64°F). Be prepared for a potentially fragile cork.
