1977 Sandeman

Post by winesecretary »

A couple of glasses consumed at the end of a splendid dinner (it featured a suckling pig!) with friends.

Rose-coloured, 40% opaque. Perfumed, almost rosewater, nose. Lovely soft mouthfeel. Dusty strawberries and cherries. No tannins left.

On the evidence of this bottle, in the last quintile of its life, but still a delicious lighter port.
