I've been wanted to buy a few 2000 Vintage ports and have been waiting for the price to go down a bits (the ones I want are still hovering around $100). I noticed this one from Fonseca which in standard vintage was one I wanted to buy. The 2000 Fonseca Y Van Zeller Jose Maria is however much cheaper ($39) and is still marked as a vintage port.

I have never heard of this one and am very curious. It is a true Vintage Port. Is it any good? Why the huge price difference?

Also any good 2000 port suggestions (I was going to purchase a Dow's, a Fonseca and a Taylor).

Many thanks in advance
