If it's a Vintage Port then 2004 is way too young to be drinking - who is the maker? If it's something like Dow's, Harris etc then it needs at least 30 years! My son has a bottle of 1977 that we may be drinking this Christmas :). You can still buy 1935 Ports that are in their prime - if you have about £800 to spend !!!

 

As Dekers said you would need to slowly decant it so you don't get any sediment.

We'll be drinking the last of the '77 Warres this Christmas.

 

As MrM says, the good stuff can go on mellowing for years.

 

The best thing to do is to type the maker's name and vintage into Google. I'm certain that someone out there in internetland will have tasted a bottle recently, and will let you know whereabouts it is on the drinkability curve.
