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!

Offley Boa Vista 1980
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.
