1977 Warre’s Vintage Port
Dark, brownish around the edges. Rich aromas of coffee and chocolate. Flavors of cherry, chocolate and coffee, soft, fine tannins, and a very long finish. This port still has lots of fruit intensity. Someone told me they thought the 1977 Warre’s was starting to fade, but I don’t see any sign of that. My rating 95.

Literally "just opened up the bottle" of a 1977 that I bought at auction a month ago.
Still has nice round edges to the tannins, a delayed finish. Nice cherry.
Lots of sediment in bottle. Ended up having to push cork in to get out. When I filtered sediment looked like entire branches of the grape vine were still in the bottle.
