I think is says Vintage.

Where's mosesbotbol when you need him?

That's a vintage bottle of port, probably close to $80 bottle. Out of my price range but ought to be very good!

Yep - Warre's is good stuff. A 1977 vintage should be delicious.

I found a review by Robert Parker (Wine Spectator) that gave it a 92 of 100.

If it has a date, then it's Vintage. Great pickup - whoever said that it could be had for $80 please buy me a bottle! This typically goes for $150+.

Right here!

Warre '77 is an excellent port! Once of the better of ports of an excellent vintage. Quite elegant, with subtle fruit. Not always easy to find in US market.

You have some good friends if they are giving you such fine bottles.

Warre is one brand that is virtual slam dunk every vintage.

The label reads like this:

1977
Vintage Porto

Thanks guys for the info. I can't wait to have a cigar with a glass of this.
