Fresh, rich, blackberry and cassis aromas. Well-knit structure. Velvety, rich, luscious black fruit and chocolate flavours. Intense lingering finish. Fonseca Bin 27 spends four years in large wood vats prior to bottling. Although it may improve slightly with bottle age, Bin 27 is ready to consume when bottled. It does not require decanting, as a cold precipitation prior to bottling prevents any ‘crust’ from forming. Serving:Best served on its own or at the end of a meal with cheese. Bottled for immediate drinking and no need to decant. Grape Variety:A Blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca Tinta Cão & Tinta Amarela Technical Characteristics:ABV – 20%Residual Sugar – 95 g/dm3 Review:“Two sips of Fonseca Bin 27 defeat winter. Some Britons view this ambrosial port as central heating. Unlike other ports roughened by 20 percent alcohol, it is velvety and caressing. With walnuts and cheese, it’s a banquet; alone, it’s a dessert redolent of blackcurrants.”
