1957 Sandeman

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Deep orange in colour, 10% opaque. Gentle nose, a bit of bubble gum and sweet figgy fruit. Soft and attractive entry. The fruit on the palate is subdued and dominated by spicy acidity. With patience, the late palate shows good complexity. The aftertaste is attractive and with a surprising flash of tannins on the long finish. Nice port. 86/100. Drunk 23-Apr-14.
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!
