1963 Sandeman

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Pale copper-red in colour, 15% opaque. Smelly nose, full of red cabbage - even a bit sulphurous. Soft and hollow on entry, showing very little. Later on the palate there is soft, sweet fruit with well balanced acidity. The finish is floral. This is a restrained, lightweight port that is elegant in style but without but substance. 83/100. 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!
