It’s a fortified wine, a port, so it’ll be drinkable for sure.
If it was a tawny port it would be more than drinkable.
A quick look for 1990 Angoves port, regardless of label doesn’t show a lot. But it does show prices low enough that I’d drink it rather than sell it.
Forgetting the Collingwood label, it seems to be worth about $15.

With the label it’s worth what someone will pay as a collectable. So ask a memorabilia specialist.
If you’re considering drinking it, remember this is 33 years old. Don’t expect it to taste like a bottle of port bought recently at Dans.
Wine flavour profile changes drastically with that much age. It needs be appreciated for what it is.
I recently drank a Draytons Port of similar age and it was pleasant but thin and with a lot of sediment.
I also had a 1944 Para Port in January that was superb and syrupy. Just yum. But its aged character won’t suit everyone.
So as a wine, it’s worth $15.
As a collectable x10 would be a dream at $150.
For $25-50, I’d just drink it.
Or, I’ll swap you for a good bottle of contemporary port, wine or a dozen beers to your taste.
