1 in stock
“Sandeman’s Cask 33 Limited Edition Aged Tawny Port comes from a single cask of up to 70-year old Port and is released in celebration of the Port House’s 225th anniversary. It was laid down in the early 1960s and is a limited to 685 bottles using the original design of 18th century bottles. Pale tile in colour, the nose is initially a little volatile but that soon blows away, indeed, this Tawny benefits from a couple of hour’s aeration. It then settles with attractive nutmeg, grilled walnut, rosewood and sandalwood aromas all clearly defined and prioritising elegance over power or intensity. The palate is well balanced with a conspicuous nutty entry, spice notes (cumin and Moroccan spice) predominating with a long and quite feisty finish with marmalade, Chinese 5-spice and even honey. ” Wine Advocate, Interim Report

I like this Reserva from RdD. 100% Tempranillo aged for 24 months in oak barrels.
3.8 stars with more aging potential.
A deep ruby red and purple shades. Thick long legs in the glass.
On the nose medium intense aromas of blackberries, black cherries, black raspberries, horse saddle, leather and slightly oak.

This amazing powerhouse from Ribera del Duero. Tinto Pesquera Reserva 2012 - Bodegas Alejandro Fernández. Decanting is advised 👌🍷 delicious cherry, vanilla, leather and cederbox with cigars. Milk chocolat, forrest floor, laurel. Great lenght and depth Amazing wine!

90 pts Given the quality of the Crianza I really was delighted to find this Reserva, needs way more time to fully flower however, still very enjoyable for me now. The Crianza is ready now, but this shows sleeping intensity and great future potential and longevity, wait a few years however.
Typical earthy red fruit with good use of oak, dusty vanilla. Weighty, full with a long finish, it will be a star in the future.
