The shape is not a mathematic or scientific symbol/shape; so far one of DRT's guesses is closest.

There is nothing rude about the correct answer. RAYC and DRT and now arguably equal best-guessers.

There is no name associated with the answer; otherwise two guesses from RAYC and one from DRT are in the right area.

Considering that "a dog" could be anywhere from 3 lbs to 180 lbs, that's not much of a hint. ;)

Right...

After a tough day at work, i had a slight thirst last night and - despite having just started yet another health drive - cracked open a bottle of port.

Somewhat displeased with the result of that first bottle, I opened a different bottle of the same port. One had a white paper IVDP selo and one didn't (and never had). I am almost 100% certain that both ports were shipped within 5 years of harvest.

What port did i drink?

I looked at the cake and went 'Ahhh'. What a lovely thing.

2004 Croft LBV.

Nope, albeit one of the three variables is correct.

Further clues will be given for well-reasoned guesses.

How about being a bit drunk and guessing anyway.

My inner port tells me the LBV bit is right but it's not my turn. If I had to come up with a reason I would think it was the selo but I'm not sure why.
