1945 Sandeman Vintage Port
Posted: Sun Jun 08, 2014 2:09 pm
Decant: 4 hours - Light orange in colour, cloudy and very pale. A touch of VA or tones of oxidation on the nose, showing faint peats in syrup. Soft entry, very light bodied with little other than tertiary brown sugar, cloves and a hint of aniseed. The VA and pears lurk in the background with the subdued acidity. More lively on the aftertaste with a burst of lime and then a long, hot and dry charcoal finish. The previous two bottles have shown much better than this one. 84 points
