Late-bottled Port: No smoking jacket required

Hear here, hipsters: Port is not just for old geezers in smoking jackets. These three are especially worth trying.

Port conjures images of “old geezers in smoking jackets” who puff on cigars after dinner and interlard their speech with phrases like “I say,” said Dave McIntyre in The Washington Post. A hip drink, in other words, Port is not. “Well, it should be.” The late-bottled vintages from the “fantastic” year of 2003 have recently been released. These are “eminently affordable” and can either be drunk now or allowed to mature a few more years. These three are especially worth trying.
