Guessed as a 1983 Warre
Noticeable more mature than most of the other Ports of the evening, this had a pleasant fruity taste, but was let down by a certain dustiness (which, with hindsight, unfairly reminded me of the Warre 1983). This was from a regular bottle and I have been told that the "dumpy" ones are often better...
