Barbeito Family Reserve from Demijohn. Very full nose - heat, nutty, sugar. Lots of nuts on the palate. Good balance, sweet. Slightly chewy and murky. Acid and peel strong in finish. Nose - 5/6, Palate - 5/6, Finish - 5/6, Je Ne Sais Quoi - 2/2 = 17/20.

Barbeito Madeiras: The 65th Anniversary Celebration (The Modern, NYC): A Barbeito family reserve wine, drawn from demijohn. A deceptive wine in that at first it seemed soft, velvety, and round, however, the acidity asserts itself on the lip-smackingly delicious finish. Once again, the sweetness is perceptible, but this is not heavy in the least. There is a cool elegance about this wine and it is marked by refinement and grace.
