Guys Port Weekend - LA (Claremont, CA): Bottled in 2004. Cloudy appearance. Rich dusty fruits and a touch of heat on the nose. Great acidity and brightness. Good intensity with lime, citrus, and caramel on the palate. The finish is surprisingly wonderful and long.

As pictured, the label stated "Colheita de 1944, matured in wood, bottled in 1987." Clear, medium-light brown in color. Full, forward, aromatic & complex nose of sherry-like overtones of caramel & toffee, orange rind, figs, golden raisins, some coffee, roasted walnuts, spices, dark brown sugar & a hint of vanilla bean & oak undertones in the background. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & silky smooth textured, well developed & mature, ripe fruit flavors of orange rind & figs, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, spices & a slight hint of vanilla. A long lingering warm finish. An wonderful well-aged wine such that any numerical score would not do justice to the tasting experience.

Beat your 2015 WOTY Dinner: Caramel, orange, cinnamon, quince and chocolate, with some pine in the background. The palate has good intensity and great acid drive. Showing really well.

Does anyone know what the estimated price for this bottle would be?
It has a gold label and 1944 in gold glitter on the back.
Thanks

Bottled in 1974. A beautiful treat, and loved by all.
