1955 Sandeman

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Medium brick red, 20% opaque. Muted on the nose with some medicinal, rosemary tones. Soft entry with powerful and bitter acidity at the fore. The medicinal flavours make themselves seen on the palate, but always bitter and hot. The acidity also dominates the aftertaste and leads to a bitter finish of good length. Disappointing. 84/100. Drunk 23-Apr-14.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

2026: DR Very Old White, Graham Stone Terraces 2011, Quevedo Branco 1986 b.2026
