Fonseca Porto Bin No 27

About 2 years ago, Dr Desert Flower got a Port buying spree.  She'd had a taste of a "ok" Port at the last good Wine tasting they had there, and we bought several bottles.  I've never been a huge fan of Port.  It's too sweet for my tastes, and it gives DDF a head ache after one glass.  Why we bought any is still beyond my understanding, but in our wine rack in our dining room, we had several bottles of Port.

2 weeks ago, DDF opened the Fonseco Porto Bin No 27.  We got it, I think, for about $20.  I didn't like it at all when it was opened:  strong overwhelming flavors of Robitussin Cherry Cough Syrup, solvent-like after taste.  And it of course, induced the traditional headache in the cranium of my beloved scientist wife after a tiny, 4 ounce glass.  "We can cook with it maybe" I thought, and put it in the fridge.

2 or 3 days later, I was looking for something to have a night cap before bed, and I tried a sip with some trepidation.  I was amazed, to find that chilled, and 3 days older, it actually tasted quite good.  I can't really recommend it as an awesome Port, but it was drinkable, and over the next week we did not have to pour it down the drain.
