NV Sandeman Tawny 10YO (bottled 2013)
Bottled 2013. Red ochre in colour, 30% opaque. More complex nose than the Reserve Tawny but still very subdued. Smooth texture, a bit of weight and some tannins in the mid-palate. Nice chewy acidity in the mid-palate giving a lovely lift and sparkle; very acidic but well flavoured. A lovely finish, full of flavours and a very long duration. Lingering honey and cedar wood. 88/100. May 2015.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
