Description:
Fonseca Bin 27 was created over a century ago for family consumption, and only released commercially in 1972. It is produced primarily from wines from Fonseca's own quintas in the Cima Corgo and thus shows an exceptional quality and consistency from year to year. Blended from reserve wines selected for their superb fruit character and depth of color, it's well-knit structure, rich, velvety full body and luscious blackcurrant and cherry flavors, also dominant in the bouquet, finish on an intense, lingering note.

In exceptional years Fonseca will make the decision to declare a classic vintage port. Only the finest wines, selected for their great intensity, depth and aging potential, are bottled under these vintage labels. On average this happens three times a decade. Renowned for their voluptuous rich fruit, mouthfilling density, tannic structure and grip, they are wines of breed, balance and great complexity. The Fonseca Guimaraens house style is one of richness and warmth, with a lush fruit intensity and a structure of both dimension and finesse. More voluptuous than massive, Fonseca Ports are coveted for their sumptuous yet refined body and great longevity. The backbone of Fonseca vintage ports are the wines drawn primarily from Fonseca's three quintas, all located in Cima Corgo: Quinta de Santo Antonio, Quinta do Cruzeiro and Quinta do Panascal. Fabulous nose of crushed raspberries, blackberries and licorice. Full-bodied and velvety, with superclean fruit and a long finish (12 x 75 cl)

Hold on to your hat. This is the best Fonseca since 1977, and it's probably even better than that classic vintage-more like the breathtaking 1948. Mind-blowing, with masses of color, aroma and fruit flavor. Smells like fermenting berries, boasting loads of crushed grape, violet and berry character. Big, full-bodied and very sweet, with tons of tannins and a sweet finish. Tannic and huge, it's a long-term, great Port
Made from grapes produced from organic farming in the Cima Corgo area of the Douro Valley this is a wonderfully rich, concentrated wine with great flavour and texture. The opulent black fruit nose is followed through on the palate revealing layers of intense berry, plum and cherry fruit flavours supported by firm, but well integrated tannins. (12 x 75 cl)
