Two capsules. The cork disintegrated — is that typical of OBV corks?

Pure red colour: very close to the official 
red 
. Slightly dry on the nose, which might or might not contain raspberries. More of the stringency tasted in the 1995, somewhat drier, but not in the Dow way. Good length, though the aftertaste has a little heat not present earlier. Lovely basic drinking port.

The dryness continues; the stringency has softened; and I kept getting glimpses of raspberry. Uncle Tom Score 6/6.
Alas my wicked guests have almost finished the whole decanter.
