winemaker's notes:
Specially selected Portos are chosen for ageing in wooden casks, which concentrates their fruit and flavour. The color matures from deep ruby through to amber, producing a rare and delicious Tawny Porto. Maturity and fruit are harmoniously balanced, creating the perfect conclusion to a meal and the inspiration for good conversation.
A rich yet elegant combination of flavors - dried apricots, honey, nuts, spices, vanilla - creates an endlessly complex wine that unfolds smoothly and develops in the mouth. A balance of aged fruit
with an oak-aged intensity epitomizes the deluxe quality of Sandeman.
Enjoy with rich appetizers such as foie gras and cheese quiche or desserts including crème brûlée, apple tarts and dried fruit.
Once open Sandeman 20 Years Old Tawny can remain fresh for up to 4 - 8 weeks.
critical acclaim:
"This has a bright aroma, with notes of lemon zest and flavors of apricot, peach tart and caramel. The long finish echoes the fresh fruit, with lots of butterscotch and nut notes. Drink now."

"An elegant tawny, perfumed with soft tannins and a good edge of wood acidity and spirit. The wine is dry, densely flavored, tasting mature, showing a good balance between young sweetness and age, with everything well integrated. "

Light brownish and ruby red, smooth start and finish, full body, and taste. Slightly strong. Sweet with a very satisfying taste that I have only found in sandeman ports. A wonderful tawny port wine. best served slightly chilled, and enjoyed with friends and loved ones.

The Sandeman 20 year old tawny port is exquisite. I bought it as a gift for my husband, who is a big port enthusiast. He particularly enjoys this port, savoring every drop! It is smooth, mellow, and rich tasting.
