NV Sandeman Tawny 50YO (bottled 2022)
The new 50YO blend from Sandeman, "The highest expression of Sandeman's range of Aged Tawnies...". This note was written based on a pre-release 5cl sample tube with the wines being available in the UK market from September (with an RRP of £330 per bottle).
A mid-brown honey colour; 30% opaque. A delicious nutty nose, hints of oxidation but none of the expected extreme vinagrinho characteristic of an old tawny. Rich, nutty and wonderfully full of dried fruit. Exquisite on the palate, elegant and balanced and full of dried citrus zest - complex and stunning. The complexity and finesse extend to the aftertaste and finish. This is a stunning wine. Rarely will you drink a better blended Port. 97/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Is there an emoji for uncontrollable dribble?!
