50 Year Old Tawny Port
***95 Points- GOLD- Decanter 2023***

Beautiful pale tawny in colour. The 50-Year-Old Tawny is exceptionally pronounced and complex in aroma profile. Intense aromas of dried fruits, roasted walnuts, toffee and spice burst out of the glass. Velvety smooth on the palate, with a bright acidity keeping the decadent flavours on the straight and narrow and all culminating in a deliciously lingering finish.

There are few more iconic images in the world of wine than the ‘Don’, the logo created for the Sandeman family in 1928 by George Massiot Brown. The cape was modelled on the attire worn by university students in Porto, while the wide-brimmed hat was a nod to the family’s presence in Jerez. …

Peatling and Cauldron Labels

A superb port from a classic vintage. The medium garnet colour has held up quite well with some bricking on the rim, but otherwise this wine is still showing youth and it has the backbone for a long life ahead. Complex layers of cocoa and spice with excellent balance and the velvety mouth- feel that gains extra credit.

About Sandeman

By 1795, Sandeman had established himself as a successful wine merchant, and his business began to expand rapidly. …

Vintage Port
Embossed capsule | White plain label

Color: Dark tawny with some red left.
Nose: Sweet Christmas spices. Rich, round sugar. Turpentine.
Palate: Some tannins, edgy. On the dry side for Port (which is typical to me for Sandeman). Decent fruit.
Finish: Medium length. Finish seems younger than the Port's age.

Reviews:
93 Points Roy Hersch: "There is a first time for everything. This gentle giant is one of the very best of the Ports I have had from the lackluster 1967 vintage, which managed to produce a few very well-made VPs. The Sandeman is still in great shape. Due to the lighting it is impossible to tell the color. The aromatics dance out of the glass with ultra-potent, sweet violet and floral notes with a hint of mocha. …

Vintage Port
** 96/100 - Wine Spectator **

The Sandeman 1963 Vintage Port stands as a benchmark for classic Port from one of the most legendary vintages of the 20th century. Produced in the heart of the Douro Valley by one of Portugal’s most iconic houses, this wine has matured gracefully for over six decades, offering a remarkable window into the craftsmanship of traditional vintage Port. The 1963 declaration was unanimous across major producers, and Sandeman’s bottling remains one of the standout examples from that historic year.

Now showing its full maturity, the wine reveals a beautifully evolved character. In the glass, it presents a tawny-brick hue with glimmers of amber at the rim. …

The Sandeman 1958 Vintage Port is a lovely wine for drinking now. 1958 was a fairly small vintage which wasn’t as widely declared as the 1955s or 1960s. Medium-bodied, with soft red fruit tones, overtones of dried fruits and wood smoke, this is a traditional after-dinner sipping Port.

Vintage Port, DOC Douro
Very Top Shoulder, Excellent capsule, Good provenance

From the excellent 1935 Vintage, Bottled to commemorate George V Jubilee. The port is tawny with some red in colour. Showing little on the nose, perhaps some hints of concentrated redcurrant. Smooth and concentrated on entry; full bodied and with good weight. Blossoms beautifully in the mouth, develops and grows. Explodes on the aftertaste with huge fruit flavours dominating - mature and sweet. Incredible finish! An astonishing wine. After 5½ hours in the glass this had even developed hints of tannins!

Sandeman 1934, DOC Douro
Neck label
Bottled in 1936 by Findlater, Mackie & Co Ltd, Hove

It all started in 1790 when the 25-year-old son of a Scottish prosperous cabinetmaker asked for a 300£ loan from his father to set up as a wine merchant in London.
This ambitious young man was George Sandeman, the founder of Sandeman, who ended up establishing one of the world’s leading Port and Sherry wine businesses.

From early on Sandeman specialised in these two great Iberian fortified wines and, following a usual practice in those days, began trading not from own offices but from Tom’s Coffee house, on Birchin Lane, London. Business was agreed on a ‘gentleman’s word’ and George soon gained an impeccable reputation, characteristic of The House of Sandeman to today. …
