1999 Sandeman Vau
Posted: 21:48 Mon 29 Nov 2021
The first of a few bottles purchased from the lovely people at VWP. Perfect cork, clearly marked "Recorked 2018", and very heavy sediment.
Popped, double decanted, poured...
80%+ opaque, dark core with some browning at rim.
Possibly a light cooked dark fruit on the nose, but mainly development notes - spice, leather, tobacco.
In the mouth, still quite tannic and similar notes to the nose. Balance a bit off but still quite pleasant for a Monday evening.
OK, drink soon-ish. 4+pts out of 7.
