OK. No faults, but nothing much going on. 4/7.

Really good deep colour.
There is some pleasure in this. Possibly under-decanted.

O83. Dark dark red. Lovely start; then weird mint. Eventually I decided that it was wrong.

E: Dark/mid-red, tending to red at the rim.
N: Cherry sweetness, toasted almonds.
P: Pleasantly surprised by this, with a rich sweet finish of good length. (1 point).

Re: 1983 Offley
Opened at 19.00 the night before the tasting, decanted at 07.00 and drunk at 20.00.
Dark red colour with an opaque centre and a medium rim. Subdued on the nose showing almost nothing. Sweet strawberry jam on the palate with attractive soft black chocolate tannins - fresh and delightful. Cocoa coated bright, fresh fruit aftertaste and a long, lively finish. 90/100.
