Re: 1982 Sandeman
This was fairly dark, and quite heavy in the mouth, but didn't have the kind of structure or fruit that I was hoping for. Perfectly fine, and well made, but again, lacks some distinction or nuance.
What I'd say about the 82s is that no wine we had was a 'complete package.' In a way, this is a fair representation of the vintage as a whole.

Re: 1982 Sandeman
When decanted this had a lot of bottle stink, and from supping the dregs I wasn't sure it would show well. The cork was also of notably poor quality.
In the event it performed quite well, but was not exceptional in any respect.

Re: 1982 Sandeman
The bt of Sandemann 1982 on this night was not a pristine one. Hence I do not want to coment on its performance except for the problems (bt stink etc.) it was still not a bad wine.

Re: 1982 Sandeman
Quite nice but not as good as other bottles of the same I've tried. Perhaps something was wrong.

Re: 1982 Sandeman
Mid-red colour, showing little on the nose. Sweet, medium-bodied entry; acidity is rather harsh and dominates the palate - takes a long time to recede to reveal sour damson fruit. Sweet and figgy aftertaste and a finish of good length. 84/100.
Not as good as the bottle we bought from The Crusting Pipe in February, which we drank on a pop 'n' pour basis.

Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Thank you. Shame the list is undated, but that will suffice. Thank you again.
