    Lovely balance, friendly style, lovely oak, does not have the depth of the older wines, caramel, lovely wood and length.

  • 1922 D'Oliveiras Madeira Boal Reserva 98 Points

    Portugal, Madeira

    Absolutely fabulous, amazing nose, aromas of vanilla and caramel, reminiscent of the Serrado 1827; exquisite palate, lip-licking acidity; does the finish have an end?

  • 1850 D'Oliveiras Madeira Verdelho Reserva 99 Points

    Portugal, Madeira

    Has 6 Baumé RS, absorbed by high acidity, Boal-like. Amazing concentration, even bigger than the Boal 1922, very spicy, incredible wine.

  • 1795 Barbeito Madeira Terrantez 100 Points

    Portugal, Madeira

    Otherworldly. So much depth, richness and concentration. From a bottle that had been open since November 1999. Endless nuances and layers, everything so perfectly integrated, so refined, outshines even the 1827 Serrado, amazing length. A dream. Displays none of the dry or sharp notes Liddell talks about. Perfection.
