Fonseca Bin 27 Port 750ml

Bin 27 comes from Fonseca Guimaraens, which draws on its own quintas, Panascal, Santo António and Cruzeiro, as well as independent growers. Alistair Robertson launched it in Great Britain in 1972, reviving the old practice of naming Ports after cellar bin numbers. Fonseca calls it the best-selling Port in the US and the reference for Ruby Reserve.

It's a full-bodied reserve Ruby blend, aged in large oak vats of about 630 liters. At launch the grapes came from the Cima Corgo and Douro Superior.

Fonseca describes an intense nose of blackberry, cassis, cherry and plum with spice, and a full, round palate with a velvety texture, firm tannins and a juicy black-fruit finish.

Against Taylor Fladgate Fine Ruby Port, Bin 27 is a reserve Ruby drawn partly from Fonseca's own quintas; for a fuller, velvety Ruby, choose Bin 27.

Fonseca suggests serving it at 16 to 18°C. It's ready to drink, needs no decanting and stays fresh for a long time after opening. Pair it with farmhouse cheddar or dark-chocolate and berry desserts.
