A ruby port, which the back label states has been made from a blend specially selected to provide "Christmas notes" of nutmeg and fruit.
Rather lightweight and disappointing. Perfectly decent ruby port with a nice soft fruitiness and gentle tannins, a touch short on the finish. Nothing wrong with the port, but never going to be a memorable drinking experience. 82/100.
