NV Sandeman Tawny 20YO (bottled 2013)

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Bottled 2013. Pale ochre-red in colour, 10% opaque. Little on the nose, perhaps with a touch of acacia honey. Smooth on the tongue, rather languid with the flavour profile and acidity being slow to build up. Restrained and full of self confidence. More balanced, more orange marmalade than the 10 year old, more mouthfilling with a bigger presence. 89/100. May 2015.
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!
