Sandeman gets a refresh with the 2011 vintage. Now part of Sogrape and positioned as its top Port selection by winemaker Luis Sottomayor, this classic brand hasn’t produced a vintage of this quality since 1963. Rather than the traditional, rather lean style of Sandeman from the early 20th century, this is powerfully ripe and black, the aroma robed in purple fruit, the flavors running deep. The concentration is apparent from the color to the constricting intensity of the tannins, which hold the finish to a savory length. A gracious wine on a big scale, this is designed to power through the decades ahead.
