Fonseca Bin 27 Port (75cl, 20%)

Fonseca Bin 27 is a reserve ruby port from Portugal's Douro Valley, bottled at 20% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is built around Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz, with Tinta Cão and Tinta Barroca also in the blend. Fonseca's Port Toes technology replicates traditional foot-treading to extract colour and flavour without crushing bitter grape seeds. Fermentation is halted with grape spirits before all residual sugar is consumed, preserving natural sweetness and concentration. The nose brings ripe blackberry, cassis, dark plum, dried cherry, black pepper, chocolate, thyme and wild fennel. The palate is full-bodied and plush, with blueberry, açaí berry, purple plum and dark cassis, supported by firm tannins and a velvety texture. The finish is long, with black fruit, spice and black licorice.
