1994 Offley
1994 Offley VP â€‟ wow, this smells minty…odd. Some dark fruit aromas, but it’s mostly mint, mint and mint again. Well structured, good balance, juicy red fruit if a tad medicinal. The finish was a let-down, though: very, very sweet with artificial fruit candy flavours lingering on. I did not like it much.

“Offley† or “Offley Boa Vista†
Was this “Offley† or “Offley Boa Vista†, as they might both exist and be different. (Yes, I’m working on the TN index.)

Whilst I stand to be corrected, I believe that the only difference between 'Offley' and 'Offley Boa Vista' on bottles of vintage port - is the text on the label.
My understanding is that by some accident of history, different markets have come to know the wine by slightly different names.
