Wine Spectator 94 points - A lovely, high-pitched style, with a honeysuckle note out front, followed quickly by golden raisin, persimmon, glazed peach, heather and white ginger flavors. Light caramel details fill in through the finish, lending a sweet component while leaving the brightness intact. Drink now. 320 cases made. -JM.June/2018
Wine & Spirits 93 points - Bright and lasting, this wine’s flavors of yellow plums and nectarines hold fresh against the mature tones of leather, smoke and spice. One taster described the aged character of its peachy fruit as parallel to an old Scotch. This offers lovely delicacy and finesse, a gentle pleasure for late-night sipping..December/2018
Wine Advocate 94 points - The NV 40 Years Old Tawny Porto is a typical Douro blend bottled in June 2018 with a Vinolok stopper and 125 grams per liter of residual sugar. It is here, finally, in the Sandeman tawny lineup this issue that the wine feels full-bodied and seriously powerful. This rolls around the palate nicely and lingers in that classic old-tawny fashion. There is considerable grip on that flavorful finish. For all of its power and concentration, this 40 is also as lively as any of its younger siblings. While it certainly shows somewhat older, with darker flavors leaning a bit more to the molasses side of the equation, it is still bright, penetrating and focused. It is the pick of the litter of the Sandeman tawnies this issue. To be sure, there’s a steep uptick in price from the 30 to this-which might make the well-priced 30 the sweeter spot in the lineup if you want complexity-but this is easily the better wine. There were 4,800 bottles produced..December/2018
Decanter 97 points - Platinum - Best in Show - Decanter World Wine Awards 2018 - Deep, translucent rose-amber in colour. Lifted, elegant and very refined in aroma, not so much intensified as sublimated by time. All of that fragrant softness and refinement drifts effortlessly into its silky, seamless, supremely sippable palate. A grand fortified wine which almost seems to defy analysis, so harmonious and so complete is it..May/2018
