Fonseca Vintage Port 1997 is a vintage-dated port from Portugal's Douro Valley, bottled at about 20% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Fonseca, with roots stretching back to 1815, sourced fruit from Quinta de Santo António, Quinta do Cruzeiro and Quinta do Panascal, foot-trodden in traditional stone lagares. The blend uses Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tempranillo. Yields were down about 30% in 1997 due to frequent showers, giving a lighter, more elegant wine. The nose opens with floral perfume, raspberry, fresh berry and Christmas cake notes, with tobacco and cedarwood spice. The palate is sweet and fleshy with cherry in brandy, soft black fruit, floral notes and gentle spice. The finish is medium-long with sweet, fading tannins and lingering cedar and dark fruit.
