Description

The 1963 Vintage is considered to be one of, if not the best of the 20th Century. Nearly every port house declared.

Established in 1790 by George Sandeman. The brand is recognized for its distinctive logo featuring a silhouette of a caped man, known as "The Don," which reflects the Spanish and Portuguese styles of wine production.

Sandeman specializes in producing both Port and Sherry wines, with a strong emphasis on quality and heritage. The company is based in Portugal's Douro Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its terraced vineyards and rich history of wine cultivation. Sandeman's range of ports includes various styles, such as Ruby, Tawny, Vintage, and Late Bottled Vintage (LBV), each with its own unique flavour profile and aging process.

Reviews

** 96/100 - Wine Spectator **
One of the great vintages of the century, and one of the best wines ever released by Sandeman. Classic aromas of figs and prunes, powerful, rich and sweet, with tremendous length.
** 96/100 James Suckling **
"This may be one of the most underrated '63s made. Its deep red color gives little indication of the wine's age, and there is an abundance of youthful, rich fruit on the nose and palate. Full tannins and an assertive finish back up everything."

"It was stunning: pale peach-pumpkin in colour, with a rich spicy nose of bitter orange peel, mocha and hints of red fruit. One the palate it was medium-bodied, powerful and silky but still delicate, with loads of coffee, wood, spice, sweetness and medium fruit flavours that were hard to pinpoint. The length was fabulous. It was definitely old but not at all tired. I’d highly recommend it!"
