The palate is richly textured with very ripe black cherry, black plum, cigar ash, chocolate, licorice and sweet spice while the fresh acidity and moderate tannins round out the finish with the sugar playing no more than a supporting role. This is an uncompromisingly bold, tannic, old-school Port–and I am a big fan. At this price, there is plenty to like. Drink now.–MP

Deep purple. Pronounced nose of crushed blueberry, damson, ink, hazelnut, walnut and burned coffee. Classic late-bottled vintage with plenty of umph. Rich palate of blackcurrant, dark chocolate, hazelnut and blackberry preserve. The tannins are firm but well-judged and the assertive acidity adds a welcome uplift. Drink now.–MP

Medium amber hue. A complex and deliberately oxidized nose exhibiting a sterling array of butter, clove, nutmeg, bruised apple, caramel, toffee, cedar, tobacco, Chinese five-spice and licorice. Lighter than expected, the palate nevertheless impresses with well-defined cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, clove and milk chocolate notes which persist onto the long finish. Drink now–MP
