Sandeman 20 Year Old Tawny is a blend of Ports aged a long time in oak casks. The wines in the final blend range from 15 to 40 years old. Twenty years is their average age. The grapes come from the Douro Valley in northern Portugal. The wines then rest in Sandeman's lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia, across the river from Porto.
All that time in wood changes the wine. The color slowly moves from deep ruby to a warm amber. The fruit grows more concentrated, and nutty, spicy layers build up. Sandeman has been making Port since 1790, and you can taste that experience here.
In the glass you will find dried apricot, honey and roasted nuts. Warm spice and a soft touch of vanilla sit underneath. Critics also mention caramel, fig and toasted almond. The palate is smooth and layered, with sweetness held in check by fresh acidity. The finish is long and gentle, with nuts and spice lingering.
Critics and judges keep coming back to it. It scored 95 points at the Decanter World Wine Awards in both 2021 and 2022. It won Gold at the 2021 International Wine & Spirit Competition and 92 points from Wine Spectator. More recently, it took Gold at the 2024 International Wine Challenge.
Serve it slightly chilled, around 12 to 16°C, in a small wine glass. You don't need to decant it, though a little air helps it open. Try it with foie gras, a strong cheese, crème brûlée or tarte tatin. Once opened, enjoy the bottle within two to three months.
