1980 Offley

Decanter #8: OBV, a glorious red, not black, just red. A bit closed, with red fruit including raspberry. Needs more than 3 hours decanting time. The raspberry made me think of Nacional: how impressed was I when OBV was revealed!

Deep red in colour, but with a clear and transparent centre. Funky nose with a bit of VA, which I can’t really make anything of. Dry entry, still tannic but with the fruit to offset the tannics quite nicely and with plenty happening in the mid-palate. Massive aftertaste that just goes on and on. 93/100.

My note:

Excellent colour (I think, the darkest of the night) nicely mature, and second only to the Dow in my ranking.

Not for the first time, an Offley proves to be Offley good value!
