A plummy and chocolatey port

Fonseca Unfiltered Late Bottled Vintage Port, Portugal (£11.99, Majestic; Cambridge Wine, 01223-568989; Roberson Wine, 020-7371 2121; Cotswold Port, 01608-650562).

This is an eminently cultured port, with plummy richness and chocolatey concentration in equal measure. If I had to pick one just bottle to toast the NewYear, at any price, this is it. With a little more age than many Late Bottled Vintage ports, it is mellow and smooth, too.
