Ferreira Porto Duque de Braganca 20 Year Old Port
Posted: 00:12 Sat 23 Jul 2016
Hello,
I've been given a bottle of this by a friend who does the odd house clearance and as he knew I liked to drink Port he gave it to me. It was stored in a box along with a few other bottles and may well have been there for years. It is dated 1981 and I've managed to locate the same current bottle online, though it calls it Tawny Port. It would cost around £35 to buy the current 2015/16 bottle so I just wondered if it would a) be any good to drink after all these years and b) is it worth anything. If it is a Tawny Port, but they just didn't call it that back then, then I'd prefer to sell it and buy a nice late bottled vintage to enjoy instead. Any advice would be much appreciated.
thanks
