2003 Sandeman Vau

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Ruby red endge, quite clear on the narrow rim. Closed on the nose. An attractive texture and powerful tannins that dominate the fruit. Fierce tannins and acidity dominate the finish. The finish is very long and very chewy. This is not in balance at the moment but has lots of promise for the future. 86/100. Drunk 24-Apr-14 at BFT5.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
