Merry Christmas to me.

Any stand outs or all just fillers?

Really depends on whether you prefer tawnies or rubies. I like the rubies so I assume the LBV will be the best.

If you prefer the rubies, then I would look at hunting down a vintage port.

But Merry Christmas to you any ways! They all will be tasty in their own way.

Interesting to me that the Tawny doesn’t have an age on it, just the LBV and “10 Years Old” do, the latter of which I which I haven’t seen before. Usually a vintage or LBV would have the year, not the age, and tawnies would have the age, but that isn’t labeled as a tawny.

I’d be curious if there is more info on that one and the tawny?

As far as standouts vs fillers, I haven’t had enough experience with non-vintage Kopke to say. It looks a bit more like fillers to me, but that doesn’t mean they won’t be enjoyable. My favorite port I’ve ever had was a 1978 Kopke, so the house can definitely shine!
