1997 Sandeman Vau Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Decant: ½ hour - Half bottle sourced from Stevens Garnier. Mature colour, bricking rim, slightly cloudy. Unattractive nose, full of bottle stink. Bland entry, dry and chalky tannins dominating over leightweight stewed fruit. Vegetal tones on the palate from the bottle stink - but this does turn intoa really nice raspberry finish of decent length. 83 points
