2008 Fonseca Late Bottled Vintage "Unfiltered" PortSKU #119035193 points Decanter
Open, opulent wild mint and berry fruit nose. Rich, succulent summer fruit on the palate: plums and cherries, backed by firm, stony tannins with a touch of black pepper. Bottled with a stopper cork. For drinking now and over the next two years. Drink 2014-2017. 
(12/2014) 93 points Wine Spectator Focused and pure-tasting, with concentrated flavors of red plum, crushed raspberry and violet that are broad, rich and plush. Well-sculpted, offering a finish that bursts with dark chocolate and spice notes. Drink now through 2030. (2/2014) 92 points Wine & Spirits Deep and succulent, this feels modern in its plush textures and luscious ripe berry flavors. Rather than finishing sweet, it feels saturated and rich, ready to enjoy with savory desserts. (12/2014)
