Osborne 1995, a lovely mature brick red colour, 60% opaque. Glorious nose of redcurrant with just a tiny hint of VA that adds to the complexity and doesn’t overwhelm fruit. Attractive mature fruit in the mid-weight palate, sweet and ripe with a slight dusting of tannins. Nicely mature with a lovely level of acidity, the style of Port I enjoy drinking at home by the fire. 90/100.
