That's a nice surprise, Alex. Hopefully you got it at a very good price.

Calem Sagrado Collections 30 anos (bottled 2017). This was a gift from my son who purchased it while he was in Copenhagen.

Ambition driven by passion, rather than money, is as strong an elixir as is Port. http://www.fortheloveofport.com

Roy,
Are you finding your bottles in small wine shops in Porto or at auction?

The company that imports Cálem into the UK is mainly a wholesaler and distributor but they recently opened a store on the High Street in Oxford.
When I visited today, I loved the complete range of Tawny and White Ports on the shelf — but it was a recently shipped, ex-cellars bottle of Calem 1985 that I walked out with.
One to open this year, probably once the sediment has settled again.
