In looking at the "off vintage" comments, I'm reminded of the nasty article I once wrote on the failure of producers to declare the 2015 vintage. If any of you happen to be members of the RP site I once worked for, this might interest you. It is behind a paywall, however. I can't do anything about that. But in short, there can be fine drinking in off vintages.

This 2012 single-quinta Port from a famous duo (J. Portugal Ramos and Jose Maria Soares Franco, former winemaker for Barca Velha) is mostly Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca, on the sweeter side and rather accessible. But it has structure, firmness on the finish, even if it seems elegant and sexy. Plum-laced and delicious, it adds mid-palate finesse too.

Nice value from an off-vintage. Can hold for more decades if you must. $50-ish.

The City of Ships is a #port of call unlike any other. At the mouth of the River of Vapors, thousands of ships from across the Great Sea are anchored, some of them centuries old.

You see, every time a ship from across the Great Sea arrived, its passengers & crew were told they could only proceed upriver in local boats. Nor could they build residences along the River--and so their ships became their homes, gradually sprouting additions and connecting, floating walkways.

Rain lashed the deck as waves battered the hull. Ol' Misty was a masochist but she trusted in her master Cap'n Ironbeard.
"Hard to #port!" The crew worked by instinct despite the order drowning in the storm's roar. He squinted his good eye and spied the point's light as it winked through the fog. He threw up his arm. "Over there be our port from this storm!"
The governor would enjoy his rare port from Portugal on his birthday.
Ironbeard always kept a promise and honored a contract.

"All hands," bellowed the first mate. "Repel hijackers!" 
Sounds of swordplay rang out along with shouts and grunts as men fought.
Melfor and the Baron drew their swords and charged aft.
Lord Cassel looked to the #port side and cried out, "There's another airship approaching!"
"All hands prepare to repel boarders!" bellowed the Captain.
