  Fonseca Bin 27 Porto 2013

  Snoothrank:

  Im writing this from memory, not a recent tasting...so this should be updated. I remember really liking this one thought. Amazing for its price. Sweet, lighter than most ports, fruity and velvety, Matt wasn't particularly fond of it, but hes not much of a port guy. Read More

  Jose Maria da Fonseca Periquita 2010

  Snoothrank:

  A blend of Castelão (74%), Trincadeira (14%), Aragonez (12%) A little smoky, earthy and vaguely mushroomy under briary almost black currant aromas with a little black spice on top. Lightweight on the palate but not without some tannin making for a lovely, easy drinking traditional table wine. Theres some nice raspberry fruit, a little spice, a... Read More

  José Maria Da Fonseca Setúbal Albis 2009

  Snoothrank:

  A blend of Touriga Nacional (59%) and Syrah (41%) Oaky on the nose and rather toasty with very earthy, clay like soil tones, hints of tobacco and a sweet almond top note. Rich and round on entry and a bit dense on the palate, this shows some sweetness behind the flavors of blackberries, dried thyme and chocolate. There are some dry tannins on t... Read More

  Periquita Reserva 2010

  Snoothrank:

  A blend of Castelão (38%), Touriga Nacional (34%), Touriga Francesa (28%) Smells a bit like Syrah, peppery, inky a bit olivy, and filled with briary blue and black fruit, spice notes and a late hint of vanilla. Pretty rich on entry with an attractive stemmy accent to the rich core of blueberry and raspberry fruit. Medium light body with supple i... Read More

  Periquita Reserva 2010

  Snoothrank:

  This wine contains less than 40% Castelão (Periquita) so is hardly Periquita per se. However, the inclusion of Touriga Nacional is definitely a plus; the nose has a hint of sour cherry - even cranberry - with wet earth. The entry is tart, with more cranberry and some soft tannin. The wine finishes short to medium with sweet and sour notes lin... Read More

  Fonseca Bin 27 Porto 2013

  Snoothrank:

  Very floral and decidedly spicy with hints of juniper, coriander and balsam as well as a touch of pencil eraser framing the black raspberry and fig fruit aromas. Very smooth on entry, silky even and a touch lighter in weight than many Ports. The palate shows a fine base of tannins with unusually clear plum and cherry fruit. This is fairly struct... Read More
