If you were to combine your personal taste in Port, the reputation of that port and its current market value compared to other similar Ports,
What would be your Strong Recommendation/Current Bargain?
We'd all like the best Port in the World, but what has flown under the radar as the best value for money out there?
To give you a cheap example. The Morgans 91 that Tom has a decent supply of. Not a Port that reaches the dizzy heights, but at under £10 a bottle for 16 year old VP, it must be in the Bargain column.

OBV VP has never passed my lips. Do you have any with which you would be willing to part, for love or money? Well, for ‘good value’ amounts of money? Especially 1963?
Julian, If you are ever heading around to the western parts of Canada, I have around a dozen and a half OBVs... 2003 though, so we may want to wait for 15-20 years for the tannins to integrate.
Graham's 1991
Quarles Harris 1977
Gould Campbell 1991
Warres Madelena 1988
Sandeman Vau (any year)
Warre's LBV (any year even at full price)
Noval LBV - cheap as chips and very good
Graham's Reserve - Sainsbury - very nice for £10
Fonseca 1966 - best value port on the market
Full name Manuel D. Poças Jr., a Portuguese shipper, founded in the early 20th century. Traditionally good as a tawny producer, but recent VP's have been very good as well. Both the 2000 VP and the 2003 Director's Choice VP received 90 points from Wine Spectator and are serious ports.
If you find some by this producer, buy it. It's usually very good value for the money.
BTW, just did google it. It gives my old bottlecount account. I haven't used or updated that for years. If you want to see my collection, go to Cellartracker and search for ronnieroots.
