2011 Sandeman

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Deep and intense in colour, opaque and dark and with a very narrow rim. Sweet bramble fruit and some mint on this pronounced nose. Sweet fruit but massive tannins swamp the mouth, with the tannins growing to punishing levels. Hugely tannic finish, but with plenty of fruit. Definitely one to tuck away in the cellar for a couple of decades! 92-94/100. Drunk 24-Apr-14 at BFT5.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
