Tasting Notes
Intense and complex with aromas of black fruits, spice, black pepper and cocoa with hints of balsamic, cedar and tobacco box. On the palate, this wine has a lively acidity and firm tannins, complemented by an incredibly well balanced and long finish.
History
There are few more iconic images in the world of wine than the `Don', the logo created for the Sandeman family in 1928 by George Massiot Brown. The cape was modelled on the attire worn by university students in Porto, while the wide-brimmed hat was a nod to the family's presence in Jerez. Since Sogrape bought Sandeman in 2002, the major improvements and investment that has taken place in the vineyards and the wine making has seen the wines rise to the top of the tree in Port.
Regional Information
The soil in the Douro Valley is made up of schist and the vines are grown on terraces cut into the steep hillsides of the Douro Valley. Each terrace can only hold up to three rows of vines.

Vinification Details
Sandeman LBV was produced by the traditional Port method, with a long, intense maceration during fermentation to extract tannin, colour and flavour from the skins. This was done both by foot-treading in traditional granite lagars (shallow vats), and by pumping over. The wines remained in the Douro until the spring when they were transported to Vila Nova de Gaia to mature in large oak vats.

Fave!

Biased by our Porto visit but this is a firm household favourite. Smooth, velvety and rich.

Love it!

This is a beautiful bottle of Port, almost too easy to drink! (the price is the only thing that persuades me to savour and place the cork back in!). I also LOVE that it doesn't have any plastic - so many brands have an unnecessary plastic-topped cork but this is just a regular cork. More plastic-free products please Ocado (and lose the carrier bags!!!)

Excellent

Lots of fruit and tanin. Will age well for many years. Good grapes go into this and it is made with great care. Excellent wine and excellent value, a cut above most LBVs. Bottled unfiltered, and although it won't throw much sediment initially, it benefits from the extra flavour this gives, and gives better aging potential.

Nice!

Not quite as good as the 2003, which was perfect this Christmas, but great value to put by for a few years.
