Sandeman Porto Late Bottled Vintage 2011

High quality wines of the 2011 vintage were carefully selected and blended to create the strong, full, fruity character of Sandeman Porto Late Bottled Vintage 2011. This wine was wood-aged for about 4 years and bottled unfiltered, maintaining the style of a single-vintage wine.

TASTING

Very deep ruby colour. Intense, extremely complex aroma, with notes of plum and blackberry, tabacco and cedar and a touch of mint, pepper and ginger and attractive hints of cocoa from its wood-ageing. It is a delightfully full-bodied wine, with evident but agreeable tannins, good, bright acidity, flavours of black fruits and chocolate, and a long, harmonious finish
