1935 SANDEMAN VINTAGE PORT with a stencilled purple wax seal commemorating the ROYAL SILVER JUBILEE for GEORGE V [and QUEEN MARY], May 6-12, 1935- darker red purple colour; with all of our quality control, we somehow missed at least one of the 2 bottles after decanting each separately as the combined pour was definitely corked; so, we opened the 3rd bottle reserved as a back up; now free from the flaw, this bottle gave sweet mint chocolate dark cherry in a medium body; it finished slightly hot.

fruity nose, touch musty to begin with but soon blows off Orange colour, still some red raisin and dried fruit in the mouth sweet, pure and fine nuts and spice, spirit very well-integrated Mellow and very long Holding up so well, it's old but certainly not falling apart

Pale; demerara sugar & spirity. Past its prime, of course, but of historic interest. This held up well in the glass.

Low level. V pale, most gone, but fragrant touch to finish. Previous bottle had much more vigour & life.
