    This is Hardy's Vintage "port" from Australia, not Portugal as you'd expect.
    That being the case it's most likely to be a fortified Shiraz, predominantly, with a touch of other grapes.
    While I haven't had this particular wine, I have tried other makers from this vintage and they are drinking well.
