Glad to hear this is showing nicely. I have 1 bottle ... the 2nd Vintage Port I ever bought, after a 2000 Graham's. Not quite ready to open it, though. Maybe a couple more years.

A great vintage and I love a great showing 1977. Sadly, as been mentioned many times here, the issues this vintage has with corks means it's a roll of the dice if a bottle shows well or not.
