NV Fonseca Bin 27 Port

[David G.]

So I'm late tasting the Fonseca Bin 27 and I get the benefit of reading your reviews first. I bought a 375 ml bottle and took it in an igloo on a trip so it was still moderately cellar cool. When I opened it the T-cap cork crumbled, not a good sign. The first evening, it had kind of a funky taste, far sweeter than I remembered and yet not smooth, with kind of a harsh aftertaste. I put it aside and drank Navan Cognac instead for the rest of the trip. Now 5 days later, it tastes good, balanced with a grapey flavor and some fruit sweetness and nice mouth feel. The finish is not as long as before and far better.
