1970 Sandeman VP

Drunk@home with WS1 on 04.10.12
English bottled - Avery's - beautiful bottle (means nothing to some, but a nice little extra for me)
great mature nose - red sour cherries, really pure, fresh and clean
umami taste, then a really interesting bitterness. Earthy, long, savoury, but delicious. medium bodied.
sweet late palate - long and vibrant finish with beautiful complexity
"the last proper sandman" (WS1)....and this really is good! Between the 2 of us, bottle is gone in 30 mins... (WS1: "we finish this bottle like champs!")
This is great port, moreover in really lovely condition
