1988 Stanton and Killeen Vintage Port 18.2%
Rutherglen, Victoria. 100% Shiraz, vintage rated as 8.5/10 by the winemaking team

I’m lucky enough to have purchased this recently at auction for $35 (less than $1 per year!). A decent cork for its age, and its sediment demanded a decant. Very deep black red colour, with definite bricking. Black cherry, plum, blackberry with some chocolates. Sweet but not one-dimensional, there’s some red fruits in the mix with the dark, and a touch of marzipan. Brandy spirit has integrated beautifully, and I can’t see any upside in waiting, as this is downright delicious now, albeit with more time up its sleeve.

Drink to 2030, and 93 points.
