I suppose I won't try to qualify myself any further...we'll just get down to the nitty gritty...
SANDEMAN VINTAGE 1994
Dark burgundy with only a hint of brick red developing on the rim. The nose is open and warm and marked by prominent raisin, prune, and black currant aromas as well as an undercurrent of faint smoked meat. Soft, smooth fruit on entry, medium sweet, transitioning through a drier mid-palate of holiday spices, then into a well balanced, medium-long finish with a medicinal cherry character to it. Very nice. There's no harm in popping this bottle now - it's laid back style makes it easy to enjoy - but I would guess it will be another 10 years at least before it really hits it's peak. 89/90pts, Tasted 3/08
