Very bright again on nose. Lots of orange peel. Bright also on palate. Lots of acid and orange peel. Very young. I did not get individual element scores, except for the wild card, but the overall score was in the 14-14.5 range. Nose - ?/6, Palate - ?/6, Finish - ?/6, Je Ne Sais Quoi - 1/2 = 14-14.5/20.

Barbeito Madeiras: The 65th Anniversary Celebration (The Modern, NYC): A Rodrigues family wine, sourced from the famed Fajã dos Padres vineyard. Lovely wine, with fine, expressive aromatics. Dried apricots, nut skin, citrus peel and hints of spice. This overwhelms the mouth with fine intensity; lingers persistently on the well-coated palate. This has energy, lift and definite “old-wine” character for such a relatively young wine. Magnificent.

Divine. Golden, complex, deep, concentrated, honey, nutty, mineral; I have no idea how to describe it, but it was amazing. Never had an old Madeira before. now I want more. Joatmon brought it on the 2010 rpm Tour and we drank it in the cellar at Scott Harvey's house.

Beautiful golden color, caramel, butterscotch, slightly nutty, looong finish.
