  I gave this about a week before providing a note. Very pleasant nose and a medium to long finish. This shows as a pretty typical Malvasia. Not quite the level of concentration and depth of other ancients, but still a very nice wine. The acid also is slightly screechy, so we will see if it smooths out over the next few weeks.

  Popped well in advance of the tasting in Sunnyvale with Eric Ifune, who generously donated this bottle. This was extraordinary. On any other night, it's probably the talk of the tasting. As stunning as it was, it probably suffered from being tasted on the same night as the 1890 D'Oliveiras Madeira Verdelho Reserva, which was otherworldly. If only drinking this one for dessert, I think you'll be properly impressed. Stunning. Can still taste it.

  Madeira with Eric Ifune (Sunnyvale, CA): Blackberries, blueberries, fresh, just more lively, a little more red wine like; full bodied, sweet, great acidity, very balanced, persistent flavor, burnt molasses; long finish. 95
