Drank at Home Incredibly young and fresh for its age. Lovely nose of nuts, dates and figs with a golden honey background. Complex mouth coating palate with a medium length. Incredible stuff.

Bottled March 2010. From memory several weeks ago: Amber in color. lots of freshness left with dried citrus rinds, fresh caramel, almonds. I thought the acidity was bright enough to balance the level of sweetness. I can see the seaside element that ANDREWSGHALL points out. Fantastic bottle with a lot of interest.

Madeira @ The Modern: Homage to Mario Barbeito (NYC): Bottled in 2000. Probably sourced from vineyards in the North coast (Seixal or Ribeira da Janela). This wine was purchased by Barbeito around 1944-1946, just before the company's founding. Medium amber with a slight greenish rim. Oily texture on entry, but good cleansing sensation on the finish. Medium acidity with brownish flavors of caramel and nuts. Medium sweetness with a medium to medium-short finish. Quite good, but my preference would be for a bit more bite.

(Barbeito Madeira Verdelho) Light medium brown color with pale green meniscus; deep coffee, roasted nut, baked peach with brown sugar nose; tasty, tangy, roast coffee, marzipan, smoke palate with good acidity; medium-plus finish (Barbeito's Ricardo Freitas thinks this wine, which he bottled in 2004, is from the island's north coast, Seixal or Ribeira da Janela. The wine was purchased by Mario Barbeito shortly before the company's founding in 1946.)

Nutty nose with figs on the palate. Very complex savoury in the mouth.

A bit of nosh at The Burgundy Room w/ Phil and Brian (Columbus, OH): Intense - smacks you with seaside notes ( a la island Scotch). Slight must, soft on the acid, softer on the finish as the front fades. Very nice in total though.
