Fonseca Bin No 27 Reserve Port NV

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalCreated over a century ago, No. 27 was initially intended for family consumption, and not released commercially until 1972. Primarily from Fonseca’s quintas in the Cima Corgo, this premium ruby is a blend of reserve wines selected for intensity, and spends four years in large wood vats prior to bottling. Sweet and fiery, with sugared blackberry, cassis, dark cocoa, sugarplums all housed with black tea powder tannins and finishing with black pepper. This has the concentration to stand up to the densest chocolate torte or richest Christmas pudding.Tasted: 13 December 2017Tasted by: Prices:
