February 3, 2016 - Madeira Pilgrimage; 2/1/2016-2/4/2016 (Madeira): Smells of sea salt, oyster shells and white pepper and a strange combination of creamy/oaky elements. Tart acid on the palate but creamy texture from the oak. I gotta say, the severe amount of oyster shell, sea brine and saline doesn't really jive with this toasted barrel and almond stuff going on. There are some flinty, smashed rock elements, but they're not really compatible with this oak. Underlying fruit is quality, but masked. I'm not sure oak is the answer for these still white Madeira wines. I really liked a lot of other ones, but this one's out of whack. Nice try. This is still a relatively new experiment. A blend of Arnsburger, Malvasia Fina and Verdelho
