Jeremy, welcome to the board. You need to give us ALL the info off the labels of these bottles so we can give you an answer. By-the-bye, 77 was a Great year for Port. WW

Okay Jerimy here goes. Royal Oporto is a good, not Great shipper of port. You probably have in your possession one of the best bottles of wine you've experienced. Get a few of your best buddies, girlfriend, wife or Whatever, Some marvelous cheese, maybe some hickory or walnuts, Pop the top on that sucker, and I hope you have something mind-blowing. WW

Royal Oporto is mediocre to average. WW is too kind. The 1977 was rated 74 points.
