Description

Madeira 1885
Malvasia Reserva Velha, Barbeito
lscl
Bottle (1)

A selection of Madeira from a Texas wine collector, removed from a home wine cellar for this sale.

“As much as I like the Bual/Boal style and sometimes the sweetness of a great Malvasia, I have grown to love Verdelho more than any of the other grapes. The varying producers have different styles of course, but Verdelho has the acidic tang and a slight off-dry fruit component that gets my palate whet and salivary glands working in overtime. Anyway this Barbeito from a vintage I have never explored in Madeira, was outstanding and the WOTN for me. Mohagany and roasted chestnuts show up along with a rich, vibrant dry nutty nuance on the finish. This specific wine CAN'T get any better than this. Superlative balance and the best finish of the four wines, which is saying ALOT.” (96 pts. Roy Hersh, For the Love of Port, Nov. 2003)
