1983 Offley Boa Vista Vintage Port
I have a large quantity of these, yet it is 18 months since I last popped one.
Sound bottle with good level, but very bin soiled.
Decanted a few minutes ago - very dark for it's age. Average sediment.
First sip - quite raw with plenty of bottle stink - has similarities to Vargellas in that there is a distinct note of violets on the palate.
Will return for a glass proper this evening..
