Typical Oliveira's rich dark mahogany. Sparkling bright in the glass as you'd expect from such a recent bottling. Spirity nose with furniture polish and new leather briefcase. On the palate, quite rich and sweet but with underling freshness which reminds me of biting into a toffee apple on bonfire night. Quite a bit of caramel richness here but never syrupy. A benchmark verdelho.
