Monday, June 3, 2019 - Tasting of Sandeman Ports at Quinta do Seixo (Quinta do Seixo, Douro Valley, Portugal): I thought this was pretty good - the standout from amidst the Sandeman Tawnies today. It had a really nice nose, full of hazelnuts and vanilla, herb and spice, and a nice whiff of dried apricots running alongside. The palate, felt just that touch simpler, maybe lacking some of the depth and complexity that you would get say in a Graham's or Taylor 30 year, but it was nevertheless really charming in its own way. Tasty and balanced, this unfolded in the mouth with notes of walnuts, maybe hazelnuts, drizzled with honey, and then more those sweet dried apricot notes. With some time, a hint of fresher, higher-toned sweet cherries came out as well. Impeccably balanced, with nice brisk freshness to it - this was a real pleasure to drink. The finish was just a tad short unfortunately, closing with a little linger of spice. That aside, this was a very nice drop.
