NV Sandeman Tawny 20YO (bottled 2012)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Bottled 2012. Golden red in colour; 40% opaque. On the nose this is dominated by nail varnish. Sweet on entry, mid-weight, and with a lovely freshness on the palate coming from the gentle acidity. Soft and gentle on the palate, with sweet citrus dominating. Lovely aftertaste, with a tingling finish and a modest but light length. 84/100.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

Oh I had this last night as well. Less ethyl acetate on the nose but agree it is a lightweight, elegant style. Nice walnut rancio finish of moderate length. Good from me.
