Fletchers, Late Bottled Vintage, Port, Douro Valley, Portugal 2016

As Late-Bottled Vintage Ports spend longer in wood than Vintage Ports, they are accessible earlier – and don't need to be decanted – so you get a similar taste without the price. This blend of the classic Douro red grapes smells and tastes of fruitcake, furniture polish and peppery spices, with a long, chocolatey finish. Available from November, so stock up for Christmas!
