(Barbeito Madeira Terrantez) Light, slightly cloudy, orange red color with clear meniscus; VA, enticing lime cream pie, cream, lemon cream, floral, vaguely minty nose; softer, silky textured, mature, lemon cream, lime cream, tart tangerine, lime honey, mint palate with medium acidity; long finish 94+ pts. (Barbeito's managing director, Ricardo Freitas, was able to obtain one and three-quarters of a bottle of this rare wine from a demijohn that had been in his grandfather's private collection. He pulled it specially for the dinners in NYC and San Francisco this week, and no more is known to exist.)

Madeira @ The Modern: Homage to Mario Barbeito (NYC): Without trying to sound poetic, this tasted like sunshine... like the warm sun on a field of citrus and nut trees. At times this seemed plush and friendly and at other times it showed a nervous tension. A lovely wine, but the 1860 Terrantez was a tough act to follow.
