Tasting Notes "Charming well balanced wine with plenty of ripe fruit." Clive Coates, The Vine, July 1988 "Very dark black colour,... closed concentrated and tight, firm, austere, dry tannins cutting through the fruit and lasting right on to a rather raw and minty finish. A real blockbuster to start drinking in ten years." Richard Mayson, Decanter Magazine, November 1990

"Fine, classic, seamless wine from...Gould Campbell". Andrew Jefford, Decanter Magazine, November 1991 "Gould Campbell Vintage Ports are very good indeed and in the vintages like 1983 and 1977, they can be outstanding. I have tasted this two Vintages in blind tastings against the best names in Port and they have clearly held their own." James Suckling, Vintage Port Bronze Medal "Wine Challenge" 1996
