Fonseca Bin 27 Reserve Ruby Port NV

Fonseca Bin 27 Reserve Ruby Port NV

Producer Tasting Note:

Young, deep ruby color. Intense, rich and fruity nose, full of pure blackberry, cassis, cherry and plum aromas intertwined with hints of spice. In the mouth it is full-bodied and round, with a soft and velvety texture, balanced by firm tannins that fill the mouth. The juicy black fruit flavours continue on the delicious, rich finish.

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"Launched in Britain 40 years ago, Bin 27 is blended from selected reserve Ports that have been matured in large, seasoned oak vats. Deep, vibrant crimson in colour, fenugreek and curry spices dominate, coal and chocolate beneath. The sweet palate (95g/l residual sugar) is thick and unctuous, very smooth with an intense blueberry and black cherry fruit, finishing with bitter dark chocolate bite and warmth, and balancing acidity"

88/100 points, Tom Cannavan, January 2023

"Very good concentration of colour, aroma still a little closed but already showing the spices – pepper and light cloves – and the ripe fruit. Very tasty in the mouth, in a good balance between body and robustness, pointing to an unreserved consumption, suitable for cheeses, for example."

17/20 points, João Paulo Martins, GRANDES ESCOLHAS (Portugal), January 2024

Food Match: Fonseca Bin 27 is very well suited for the classic port and cheese combination. A good farmhouse cheddar would be perfect. It is also delicious with desserts made from dark chocolate or berry fruit.
