NV Fonseca Bin 27 Port

[Derek T.]

OK guys, I'll start things off...........

I have not decanted this wine. I opened it last night and had 1 glass (didn't take a note ) and then re-corked it.

From memory, there is no appreciable difference in smell from last night to tonight. No real power in the fruit and slightly spirity on the nose. Enrty is very sweet and light but then suddenly heavy, dry and tannic on the palate with a kick of alcohol on the back of the tongue that fades quickly. The finish is somewhat dry and bitter, although quite long.

I am quite disappointed with this wine - I wish it was as attractive as the bottle

Will try again tomorrow and report back.

Derek
