RV45. Orange, 19% opaque. Alas barely Port: pineapple; thin; sweet; bland.

I have forgotten how the RV45 arrived at the 1994 tasting. Please could this thread be reminded.

I had collected three bottles from a shared auction lot that day - one was a Croft '45 in good order, another was an ullaged anonymous crusted, and the third was the RV45 ullaged to half empty - so an atypical bottle (but still drinkable, unlike the N94..)
