Fonseca Bin 27 Port: Tasting with 6th Generation Winemaker David Guimaraens and Austin Beeman

A conversation between David Guimaraens and Austin Beeman about Fonseca Bin 27, a young and fruity port wine.  Guimaraens describes the wine as full-bodied and rich, with a concentration of black currant fruit. He explains that the grapes used to make the port come from the Douro Valley, which has a hot mountain climate that contributes to the intensity of the fruit. The wine has plenty of tannins, making it a good pairing with chocolate desserts.  Beeman comments on the aroma of cherries and raspberries, and Guimaraens attributes this to the grape varieties used in port production. They both agree that the wine is pure, bright, and joyful in its fruitiness. Guimaraens describes Fonseca as a house known for its bubbly, rich, and intense wines, and Bin 27 is no exception.  They discuss how the winemaking process is crucial in preserving the fruitiness of the wine while extracting color and structure.  Overall, they find the wine to be enjoyable and fun.
