Cork fell apart and crumbled when I tried pulling it out. Light to medium bodied, more reminiscent of a Bordeaux; the wine's drinkable, and the 20% alcohol shows little heat, but it's leaning toward being oxidized -- a little musty, and with fading flavors. Paired alright with cocoa truffles. 86 A few days later, the mustiness faded out but the wine has bitter-leaning notes on the finish. Now I'm certain this is corked -- from WineBid.com.

1990’s Late Bottled Vintage Ports (Seattle, Washington): Subtle aromas of dark fruit. Lots of dark fruit on the palate. Smooth, well-integrated mid-palate with some light spirit on the finish.
