Bin 21 2018
In Stock
How better to finish a meal or extend an evening celebration than with a sweet, deep port, and our Bin 21 is just that. Rich with a balanced sweetness, it features black cherry, black currant, date, dried fig and walnut, these flavors coming from the interaction of the oak and the brandy used for fortification. Easy to sip and perfect for fireside, port is our go-to for a cold winter’s night, or really, anytime we feel festive and slightly indulgent.
Nose: molasses, leather, maraschino cherry, mahogany, orange peel
Palate: black cherry, black currant, date, dried fig, walnut
Finish: light plus acidity, medium oak and tannins
