.13 would have to be before shipping.
I'll take it for .13 - how do you want to do the transaction?
Price is USD?
Color: Dark purple/red. Not opaque, but impressively close for a 30-yr old Port.
Nose: Lush, rich fruit. Some that hits at blueberries, some that hints at something richer. There's some alcohol, but it's fragrant and not at all overpowering.
Palate: Rich black cherry, on the tarter side for black cherry. Moderate tannins that are still on the slightly rougher side. Quite sweet but that's countered by a tanginess to the fruit. Paired very well with my New York Strip steak, which had a salt and black pepper rub along with a mushroom cream sauce.
Finish: Good length, with lots of leftover berries and pleasant warmth.
Score: 94 points. I usually like the G85 better than the G83, but that's typically because the G85 is more approachable. We may be getting to the point where that's no longer the case as the G83 matures, and I'm beginning to think that the G83 might be a better Port for the long haul.

Im tempted to drink it but i think it would be a waste on me. my experience with wine is very limited. If i cant find a spaten i would take a budweiser over any micro brew.
cool offer!
Graham's 1983 Bottling Note
This 1983 vintage from Graham's will drink well now, this is a dark, rich port, which will become slightly tawnier after a few years as the fruit character develops. Lots of cocoa, sweet berry fruits, and well integrated tannins.
right now im taking offers, everywhere i look this is sold out.
