Gerard Richardson: Why your next 'special' bottle should be a vintage port

How old is too old where vintage port is concerned folks? Well, in truth, I've yet to find out and I've tried several 50 year olds over the years and the only thing stopping me going older is the sheer cost. Generally, as long as the anniversary you are celebrating is up to 50 years ago, the price although steep is worth the gamble, but over 50 years and the price goes up exponentially in line with the rarity.
