Sandeman's celeb Port for their 225th birthday in 2015 (I very much believe that there is a word for this birthday in english, too )
One can get the whole story here: http://eng.sograpevinhos.com/blog/2014/ ... s-cask-33/
Transparent mid red colour with little greenish rim and a heavy center. Elegant subtile, but complex bouquet with very balanced tobacco-spice notes. On the palate Milk chocolate, a huge mix of spices, white pepper and perfectly integrated acidity. The aftertaste is simply fascinating: very, very long and very well balanced. The 131g residual sugar are absolutely not noticeable. 18+/20
Picture taken tonight:

PS. @anyone at Sogrape: whenever you celebrate in 2015, I would be available

The word you are looking for is quasquibicentennial.

Re: Sandeman Cask 33
Do you have any thoughts on how this compares with the other very old port currently on the market?

Re: Sandeman Cask 33
This is definitely not the Tributa, VV or Scion style as these are much older and much more intense in aromas.
Cask 33 is rather a Tanwy with an extremely high level of finesse.
