Seen recently in a retailer's premises, to which vintage port does the note below refer? The only additional clue I will give (for now) is that there is a tasting note for this port on our tasting note database.

Not the Cruz 1989, but you are thinking along broadly the right lines.

Not the Kopke 1985, the wine has a lesser reputation that the Kopke 1985.

It is indeed what Tesco put on the shelf next to their 1994 BoB.
