Fonseca Bin 27 Port: A Detailed Tasting Experience with Perfect Food Pairings

Fonseca Bin 27 Port is a perennial favourite, gracing tables and tantalising taste buds for decades. This award-winning reserve Port is a testament to Fonseca's dedication to quality and craftsmanship. But what exactly makes Bin 27 so special? Let's delve into a detailed tasting experience, exploring its flavour profile and ideal food pairings.

A Feast for the Eyes: Colour and Appearance

Fonseca Bin 27 boasts a deep, youthful ruby colour. This vibrant hue hints at the intensity of flavours waiting to be discovered. As you swirl the Port in your glass, observe the smooth viscosity that clings to the sides – a sign of the wine's richness and concentration.

An Aromatic Journey: The Nose

The first sip of Bin 27 is preceded by an intensely fruity nose. Ripe blackberries, cassis (blackcurrants), and juicy cherries dominate the initial impression. As the aroma unfolds, notes of plum and subtle hints of spice emerge, adding complexity to the bouquet.

The Palate: A Symphony of Flavours

The first touch on the palate is pure delight. Bin 27 is a full-bodied, well-rounded Port with a smooth, velvety texture. The vibrant fruit flavours from the nose translate beautifully, with a burst of blackcurrant, cherry, and plum. These flavours are balanced by a touch of sweetness and underpinned by firm, mouth-filling tannins. The tannins provide structure and ensure a lingering finish, leaving you wanting more.

Beyond the Basics: Unveiling Additional Notes

As you savour Bin 27, additional notes may come to the fore. Some palates might detect hints of chocolate, especially dark chocolate with a high cocoa content. Others might perceive a touch of raisin or prune, adding a layer of complexity. These subtle nuances contribute to the overall richness and depth of flavour.

The Perfect Match: Food Pairings for Bin 27

Fonseca Bin 27 is a versatile Port that pairs beautifully with a variety of after-dinner treats. Here are some ideal food pairings to elevate your Bin 27 experience:

  • Chocolate Delights: The rich fruit character of Bin 27 makes it a perfect partner for chocolate desserts. A decadent raspberry and chocolate fondant is a match made in heaven. The luscious, ripe strawberries and creamy chocolate complement the blackcurrant and cherry notes in the Port, creating a harmonious symphony of flavour.
  • Cheese Dreams: Bin 27 also shines when paired with cheese. Soft, ripe cheeses like Camembert or Brie create a delightful contrast in textures. The sweetness of the Port cuts through the creaminess of the cheese, while the tannins cleanse the palate for the next bite. For a more adventurous pairing, try Bin 27 with a strong, blue cheese like Stilton. The Port's sweetness tames the sharpness of the cheese, resulting in a surprisingly pleasant combination.
  • Fruity Endings: Don't limit yourself to chocolate! Bin 27 pairs wonderfully with other fruit-based desserts. A classic fruit crumble with apples, blackberries, or plums is a perfect choice. The acidity of the fruit cuts through the richness of the Port, creating a refreshing and balanced finish.

Beyond Dessert: Enjoying Bin 27 on its Own

While Bin 27 excels as a dessert wine, it can also be enjoyed on its own as a digestif.  After a hearty meal, a small glass of Bin 27 serves as a delightful way to cleanse the palate and leave you feeling satisfied.

Serving Suggestions

For an optimal experience, serve Bin 27 at a slightly chilled temperature, ideally between 15-18°C. Use a generously sized port glass to allow the aromas to develop fully.
