1966 Sandeman Vintage Port:
This was just starting to show some bricking on the rim, but otherwise was still holding its color nicely. The young nose showed cinnamon and plums. A touch of heat on the palate was just noticable but didn't interfere with the overall pleasure. It was interesting because each glass of this was a little different than the last. One would show young fruit then the next it would be more mature fruit. It was hard to get a grasp on this one, but by the end it sorted itself out. While a very enjoyable bottle, it wasn't quite up to par with some of the others. 90 points
