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

Re: Vintage Port........
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. "
