On Thursday 19th December 2013 a subset of the obvious suspects gathered at The Bell in Wendens Ambo to taste old, peculiar and unknown bottles.

Re: 2000 Sandeman Vau
From a double magnum. Deep intense red; opaque. Nosing of sweet raspberry and crushed nettles. Lovely fruit on the impact, balanced but quite powerful tannins on the palate supporting a lovely fruit-driven port. Delicious and sweet, the ripe fruit is all over the palate. Lovely, supple and still just showing primary fruit characteristics. 88/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
