1983 Graham's Vintage Port

Original price sticker still on the bottle $13.95. Damn, I shoulda bought more back then. Who knew prices would increase so much?!
Decanted. Initial impression, quite dark, still somewhat opaque. Closed nose. Seemed a bit hot. Good plummy fruit, still some tannins. Good length but finish was alcoholic. With time, the fruit has come to the front. Not a heavyweight but good balance. Still a bit of bitterness on the finish. Nice but still young. I'll wait a few more years for the rest of my bottles.
