My local wine shop has gotten in a shipment of Burmester 1995 VP. Anyone have any experience with it?

There's only one old TN on this here on FTLOP but Suckling gave this 88 points back in the day. It is a middling bottling and not nearly as good as the 1985, but should be nearly ready to drink at this point from what I've read elsewhere.

I worked my way through a case of this that I bought in the early 00's and finished the last bottle just last year. I bought it very cheap (17 euro a bottle) and was very happy with it. It is a lovely port, not overly complex, but a very nice casual drinker. I actually liked it better than the 94 Burmester, with fresher fruit flavours and a better balance. I would say Suckling's 88 points are spot on. If you find it at a decent price it is certainly worth to buy some.
