Barbeito family reserve, drawn from demijohn. Sharper, nutty nose, slightly stinky. Really focused on the palate - high acid with lots of nuts and drive. Huge nuts and peel on the finish. Really compelling. Nose - 5/6, Palate - 5/6, Finish - 6/6, Je Ne Sais Quoi - 2/2 = 18/20.

Barbeito Madeiras: The 65th Anniversary Celebration (The Modern, NYC): A Barbeito family reserve wine, drawn from demijohn for this event. Even with the poor lighting in the room, one can discern the darker color relative to its peers in this flight. Here we have some darker flavors of treacle and fruitcake. Good, but not high, acids. Medium length. A real treat to taste this rarity.
