Pretty violet nose. Fragrant, soft and fleshy on the palate with attractive primary fruit and firm tannic grip. Finishes lengthily. Should age well. Blend - 20% Touriga Nacional, 20% Touriga Franca, 20% Tinta Roriz... 93 Points

Bin 27 remains one of the most reliably deli-cious Ruby reserves, presenting the plump Fonseca style in a wine that’s remarkably easy to drink. Its scent of purple plums emanates from a luscious texture, the wine’s freshness firmed up by schist tannins. Enjoy a glass with crusty peasant bread and meltingly ripe Queijo Serra da Estrela. Best Buy. 92 Points

Very fruity and generous with plums and blackberries leading the nose. Full-bodied and dense, yet framed by an approachable structure and rounded tannins. The finish is rich and succulent. 91 Points
