1884 Sandeman vintage port
Very pale, a light straw colour. Smelly on the nose, smelling very strongly of rosemary and antiseptic. Sweet in the mouth, very tertiary with dry nut-skins and showing real frailty. A sweet, light and tawny aftertaste and a good length. Very lovely and delicate. 80/100. Drunk 17 Dec 2009.

Translucent pale orange. Nosing of soap. BMHR and SRG said ‟paraffin”. Later AHB said ‟rosemary”.
To taste: ‟awful”; ‟dead, long ago”.
