97 points Wine Spectator
"Well-proportioned, showing fine balance and grip to the fresh boysenberry, red plum and wild cherry flavors. Intense black fig and dark chocolate notes appear on the firm, powerful finish. Best from 2040 through 2060. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 1,250 cases made."
94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"The 2011 Sandeman Vintage Porto has a very precise nose that is imbued with far more clarity than previous vintages: pure black cherries, minerals, creme de cassis and violets, like a super-charged Margaux. The palate is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, the black cherries intermingling with marmalade, fig and raisin. It is seductive toward the finish, confirming its impressive showing out-of-barrel last year. This is without doubt the finest Sandeman of the modern age."
Jancis Robinson
"Extraordinary fragrance; wonderful density and expression and mouthfeel. An absolute pearl - so full of life! Still a newborn too. Layers of rich fruit intensity. 18.5/20 points. (RH)"
