Not worth anything but it will be good

First off, I’m sorry for your loss. I lost my dad a few years ago and it’s been hard.
This is a port. Ports are fortified wine and care less about storage than a bottle of red wine.
With that being said, this is a non vintage 10 year port. It’s an entry level bottle. Also, nobody is going to purchase a bottle than has been sitting in a shelf for 20 years in non ideal conditions.
So no street value. A new bottle of it can be found for $38 currently. People will buy that over going through you. Also, it’s mass produced so there’s no issue of supply/demand.
I’d grab some creme brûlée to pair it with and open that bad boy up. Won’t make you sick if it’s gone bad; will just taste bad. Maybe grab a new 10 year to compare it to.

This is an ok tawny port. Definitely worth drinking. Tawny is mixed with a small amount of brandy to kill the fermentation process so there is no benefit from aging like other wines. It also means if you open it you can still drink it with no difference in flavor over a couple weeks.
The age on a Tawny (this case 10 years) represents the average age of tawny mixed into this bottle. For example, they may have mixed 50% 5 year age and 50% 15 year aged or some other combination. They do this as it obviously would be too difficult to constantly be draining out entire barrels of specific ages and have nothing left.

Reduce it and use it as a glaze for something

Don’t listen to the nay sayers, this will be a fantastic beverage. Port is fortified and treat it like a whiskey in a stemmed bowl. There will be some plum, stewed prunes, a little oakiness in the notes; it’s going to be wonderful. Thise are moments of time captured in a bottle.

New bottles of Taylor Fladgate NV 10 year tawny go for about 40 bucks new and this one was stored in uncertain conditions for an unknown length of time. Not worth considering resale.
On the other hand, Port, like most fortified wines, is remarkably durable and it’s probably still perfectly good to drink. My advice would be to get together with family and have a drink and tell stories about dad… And let that sucker breathe a bit.

Have an identical bottle at home and its great with chocolate. Its not worth anything special, you should enjoy it with your family instead.
Crazy that the label is the exact same as the new ones aswell.
