Deep garnet. Earth, truffle, wood spice and milk chocolate. Similarly mature palate, though there’s a touch of chalky tannins through the finish. Ready now. (TJ)

The 1983 Boa Vista vintage port is a rustic, fertilizer-smelling, earthy, very old, oxidized style of port that is too unusual and bizarre to merit a recommendation. Importer: Broadbent Selections, San Francisco, CA; tel. (510) 432-8870

Offley Forrester produces medium-weight ports that, given their reasonable price, offer value rather than great complexity and richness.
