Have been googling it... sounds like it could be fine over 2-3 days? Like a decent red wine? Sometimes I think they can be better on the 2nd day...

It’ll be fine over a few days. I usually put Port in the fridge. When they say room temp for certain drinks they mean some draughty French Chateau not our 20+c central heating.

WHS, although you might want to let it warm up a bit from the fridge. More like 16C (I believe) Our fridge defaults to 3C

Couple of days.. trouble is, it’s already quite old, read mature, so will deteriorate faster.
Use a vacuvin to extract the air if you want to keep for a few days..

Agree, room temperature should read 18 degrees.. not 20+

My wife always finishes the last of the crisps and leaves the empty pack in the cupboard. The dog hates me. There’s nothing on the telly that’s any good.

Sorry. I missed the first comment when this thread started and I immediately thought whine....

Merry Christmas.

Should be lovely. 1983 was declared by most producers so an excellent vintage. Ready for drinking now. You must stand it up 24 hours before opening, then pull the cork and decant slowly in one go until you see the sediment coming, promptly stop pouring. Pour the dregs into the sink.
If you don’t decant vintage port you will have bits everywhere in it.

I have a sieve for the sediment, came with a boxed port...

I sometimes resort to using a coffee filter if opening a particularly old bottle and the cork disintegrates.
