Cálem Vintage Port 1984: a bottle with four decades of history
The 1984 Cálem Vintage Port is a classic vintage port originating from the Douro Valley. Thanks to decades of bottle aging, this wine developed a refined elegance and complex aromas typical of old vintage ports.
In 1984, the Summer Olympics were held in Los Angeles. That’s a familiar historical context for a port that has had decades to age since then. The actual condition of a matured bottle depends on storage, the cork, and the condition of the bottle. Stand the bottle upright beforehand, open it carefully, and pour slowly to leave as much sediment behind as possible.
Aroma & taste
In the glass, this port shows an evolved ruby color with amber reflections. The nose is refined with aromas of dried figs, plums, cocoa, nuts and subtle spices. On the palate, it is elegant and harmonious, with soft tannins and a long, refined finish.
Serving & foodpairing
Serve at 14-16°C. Ideal with chocolate desserts, soft cheeses or as an exclusive meditation wine.
