- robr - 07-17-2005 Sandeman: I saw this at the store for $20. Is this a decent port? [This message has been edited by robr (edited 07-17-2005).] - Innkeeper - 07-17-2005 Depends on the bottling; vintage, age (10,20 years etc), tawny or ruby, etc. - wondersofwine - 07-18-2005 I've liked their ten-year tawny port all right. - californiagirl - 07-18-2005 Where is KC... Sandeman!?! Absolutely love the 20yr tawny! It's my hubby's fav... and I'm quite partial. We polished a bottle off at KC's a year or so back. - TheEngineer - 07-18-2005 I visited their cellars (?) in Oporto last year and came away rather impressed with their stuff! I love their 20 year old tawny's too but their vintages are really nice. - hotwine - 07-19-2005 Sandeman rubies haven't been much since the '70's IMO. Prefer a Taylor-Flagate LBV (other than the '99) at the $20 point. - Kcwhippet - 07-19-2005 I'm a bit partial to tawnies, and I like the 20 year olds because they show more complexity that the 10 and aren't as expensive as the 30 or 40. Besides the Sandeman's, I also like the Barros, Taylor Fladgate and Cockburn's. For a lot less money you can also try the ones from South Africa (KWV and Paarl) and Australia (Clocktower and Whiskers Blake). |
