Just finished this bottle of Vintage Port Wine, it was glorious. Had it with some White Stilton Cheese and fresh crusty bread. What more could you ask for in life :) :) :) :) :) :)

I don't mind the odd glass of port myself, I got this 10 year old Tawny from my daughter at christmas but am a bit reluctant to open it just yet.

From online as to Joe's Port:

Winemaker's Notes
The latest addition to the range of fine ports from Warres, Otima is an aged 10 year old tawny especially suitable for those with a preference for the lighter style of Port. Its delicate palate challenges the traditional perception of Port as a dark and full-bodied after-dinner drink.

Otima is a Premium Quality Port from a renowned Port house, and brings a lighter, more contemporary style to reflect today's lifestyle - a contemporary, quality drink, versatile enough to be enjoyed anytime.

Critical Acclaim
WS91
Wine Spectator - "Well-honed, with a touch of sweetness to the plush flavors of butterscotch, pear tart, almond and vanilla. Orange peel and dried ginger accents emerge on the seductively spicy finish."
W&S90
Wine & Spirits - "Fresh fruit introduces the full-on richness of this Tawny, a classical flavor combination of nectarine, almonds and walnuts. There's a fine balance between the caramelized sweetness of the fruit and the nutty bitterness. "
