Bright, pale amber-tawny, this sings from the glass with mixed glacé fruit and elvas plums. Very fresh and elegant flavours with a touch of savoury complexity that dries the wine off nicely on the finish. Beautifully poised for a wine of this age and stature.

Pale tawny with a slighty yellow cast but still with plenty of golden toffee colour. Spiced apricot, with the spirit all blown off. Then delicious dried apricot and cherry on the palate. Delicate, fresh and long with a spicy and still-fruity aftertaste. Drinking range: 2015 - 2017 Rating: 17.5/20 Julia Harding MW, www.JancisRobinson.com (Oct 2015)

An intense, deeply flavoured Porto Tawny 40 Years Old, with a massive bouquet suggesting vanilla, oak and honey, and a mouthful of very complex flavours of dried fruits, spices, and nuts. As the wine unfolds smoothly and develops in the mouth, one discovers a superb balance of wood ageing and vibrancy, characteristic of Sandeman Tawny Portos.Winemaker's notes (Aug 2015)

Sandeman

Scotsman George Sandeman set up business in Tom's Coffee House in London in 1790, trading in Ports and Sherries. An agency in Cadiz soon followed, and then a Port Lodge in Vila Nova de Gaia and, by the beginning of the 20th Century, Sandeman Ports and Sherries were to be found all across the world. Seven generations down the line, another George Sandeman can be found at the helm of the House of Sandeman, although the family relinquished ownership in 1980. Sandeman are now owned by Sogrape. Sandeman's most widely admired products are their aged Tawny Ports.
