need 1996 year port recommendations

Post by Raj Patil »

Can anyone help me with comments about 1996 ports (I know it wasn't a generally declared year). These will be drunk now and for the next 50 years. Are there any 1996 that will go that long? These bottles will help celebrate a special occasion in my life every 5 or 10 years. Thanks

The 96 Quinta do Vesuvio would be your best bet. Always declared, always ageworthy.

Here are some excellent choices that are listed in order of my own preference:

1996 Quinta do Noval Nacional
1996 Quinta do Vesuvio
1996 Graham's Malvedos
1996 Quinta do Bomfim
