Hi Seamari and welcome to the board. Not familiar with this Port House and don't think there were roo many of the big houses who declared in 82. Sorry. WW

Hello Seamari.
If it says Pocas Junior on the label then its by the small family owned firm of that name. Anyway, what you have there is a Port from a single vintage (1982), but left in wood for at least 7 years before bottling; actually a vintage Tawny. The bottling date is usually shown on the label (are you reading this Wino?) Can't help with US prices, but won't be worth an awful lot I guess, mainly because of the little-known House (Pocas) and perhaps concern that it may not have been stored properly. since leaving Pocas.
If it was mine I would take great delight in opening it, and pouring it very carefully because it's most probably thrown some sediment (not harmful but not very pleasant in the mouth). T.
