  Consistent with Sercial style of Madeira. As long of a finish as I ever recall in a Sercial. Decanted for four days before drinking; amazing nose.

  Madeira Pilgrimage; 2/1/2016-2/4/2016 (Madeira): Whoa, this is an extreme wine. Smells like candle wax, honey, dried hay, chamomile tea and cigar smoke. Bright and tangy with some significant volatile acidity showing, but the other flavors peek through and expose notes of ginger, grapefruit rind, sea brine and crushed shells. Amazing to taste a Sercial this old, as I love the flavors of Sercial in all its iterations. This is one of the weirdest and interesting examples.

  Første glass gir en elegant og eksotisk duft av pasjonsfrukt, tørket frukt, knekk, karamell og sitrus streif. Kompleks, sammensatt og fantastisk balansert i munn. Ord blir fattige i alle nyansene som dukker opp her og fokuset blir å nyte vinen fremfor og vie smaksnoteringen den oppmerksomheten den krever. Ettersmaken drar ut i flere lengder og sitter i munn flere minutter etterpå. Harmonisk vin med særpreg og karakter.

  Roy Hersh's Majestic Madeira Extravaganza (Seattle, WA): Slightly cloudy. A piquant nose with pickled capers and some VA. Wow, this is getting much more expressive and floral. Mmm, salt and limes, very dry. Lots of acid on the mouthwatering finish with lime and citrus dominating. This is very refreshing and intense, a true "laser" of a wine. There is a slightly bitter note of peanut skin on the finish. Of the two Sercials, this was my preferred wine, as I found it to be more consistent and harmonious.
