Monday, January 15, 2024 - Very good, but price difference between this and something like Grahams non vintage port is mind boggling. Not with the price IMO.

I do see the attraction of the non-vintage fruit forward style though.

I'd suggest locating a 1990's era bottle of vintage port from a good house (Dow, Taylor, Grahams) and try it to see what age will do to a vintage port. They are available at decent prices, and you will be deinking a whole different animal.
