Sandeman,
For laying down,
The 2011 Sandeman Vintage Porto has a very precise nose that is imbued with far more clarity than previous vintages: pure black cherries, minerals, creme de cassis and violets, like a super-charged Margaux. The palate is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, the black cherries intermingling with marmalade, fig and raisin. It is seductive toward the finish, confirming its impressive showing out-of-barrel last year. This is without doubt the finest Sandeman of the modern age. Drink 2018-2040.

Founded by an adventurous Scotsman, George, in 1790, Sandeman's went on to become one of the most well-recognised brands in the world. The Sandeman family ran the company with great success until it went public in 1952. Since then it has been part of the drinks company with its own uncertain future, Seagram.
A really fine vintage port from Sandeman, and this would most likely be pre-1980s, shows wonderful elegance and will have aged as well as any.
