Osbourne LBV 94'

Drew, I found some. I bought a bottle of Hardy's today. Very decent, nice warm nose. The warmth coming from the alcohol at 18%, but laced with fruit. Syrup sweet on the tip of the tongue, but not cloying. The description above was right-on, because the burst of acid helps to wipe out the power of the sugar.

I spilt a little on my hand, I could feel the alcohol evaporating.

I am putting this one on my list of decent after dinner sippers. It would go well with olives and it would (if you wanted sweet on top of sweet) go great with pecan pie or shoo-fly pie. But with plain, lightly roasted and salted pecans - oh wow this stuff would taste super fine. (I can taste something like roasted pecans on the finish - really very nice and smooth!)

Reason for edit: I forgot to mention, a bit more than your $15.00. It priced out at $18.90 here. But still, for under $20.00 a very good port!
