1966 Sandeman Vintage Port
Posted: Wed Nov 04, 2009 7:01 pm
This tasting of 1966 Sandeman from a source who's storage conditions were highly questionable yielded positive results.
Color: Pale, rust, and slightly orange sunset at the rim.
The nose was of figs, almonds and a bit of grapefruit or blood orange with a light alcohol scent.
Rather thin tasting and slightly dry, a bit short on the finish. It had a spicy, pear-like taste, mildly astringent, but overall very nice. It is more than likely at it's prime now.
Moses & Sean C. rating 92/100
I should add both bottles were decanted for 3 hours.
