1848 Henriques & Henriques Madeira Boal Special Reserve Grand Old Vintagemore |
6/25/2003 - Echezeaux Likes this wine: 99 pointsVery bright, deep orange, yellow-green meniscus. Morvelous, high-toned, nutty bouquet, beautiful. Only slightly sweet, somewhat severe. Fairly long palate and very long aftertaste. Very fine fruit-acid balance, a touch of volatility. Very elegant, medium-weight wine, bottled elegance and refinement. Ethereal. Dionysus would weep. |

1/26/2012 - Seth Rosenberg wrote: 98 pointsMurky - dirt, caramel, molasses, lots of orange peel and burnt rubber. Very sweet on the palate with orange, citrus, peel, burnt rubber. Better on the palate than the nose - really focused and balanced, not harsh at all, no heat, but really burns and searing after the palate. Perfect with dessert. NB: this was tasted at the end of a long dinner, and I tried the wine again the next day - it seemed nowhere near as good, so either it developed quickly, or my note was colored by the long dinner. Nose - 5/6, Palate - 6/6, Finish - 6/6, Je Ne Sais Quoi - 2/2 = 19/20. |

The deepest colour of the heavenly quartet; very complex and rich, nuts and caramel, ethereal topnotes, layered; wonderfully structured, excellent acidity, never too sweet; beautiful balance, less woody than very old Barbeito's. Perfection. |

11/13/2018 - jerryjerry2 Likes this wine: 98 pointsTasted 2012 @ H&H in Camara de Lobos , This is in my top 5 wines ever tasted. What made it our favourit wine of the quartet was the way a small pour in the morning stayed with us all day. Late Mr. John Cossart Junior told us he had the quartet traced to being pre 1725 wines. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (3) |

Slightly deeper colour than the Grand Old Boal; very deep aromas, very powerful, perhaps slightly less typicity than the Grand Old; very concentrated, wonderful balancing acidity; amazing length, like Grande Champagn cognac. |

Quite light for an old Boal; beautifully soft, rich and rounded, medium-sweet, velvety texture, calm and typical flavour of caramel and vanilla; concentrated, incredibly long finish of black treacle. Classic and impressive. |

Aromatically, I get old leather, cigar lounge, brown sugar, musk, eucalyptus and floral potpourri. Full and so complex but the brightness is incredible. Flavors of musk, leather, library dust, clove, cinnamon and coffee. But it's still so vibrant with these elements of orange marmalade, cocoa and white flowers. So long and pure. Whoa. |

1/23/2024 - PDavisMarble wrote: 97 pointsThe caramel color hinted at what to expect, but undersold this beautiful bottle. The nose was an immersive experience in a baking spice cabinet, with lingering notes of caramel, sugared-plums, figs, vanilla and more cinnamon & nutmeg! When I could pull myself away from the glass and actually taste it, the cascading rich notes of fruits and cake were heavenly. Some acid helped to keep this clean and elegant, such that it didn't end up being cloying or heavy in the least bit. 129 years of near-perfection. Thank you, Ryan! |

5/19/2016 - forceberry wrote: 97 pointsTranslucent, moderately pale bronze color. Intense, complex bouquet with layered aromas of sweet raisined fruit, dust, decomposing dry wood, roasted nuts, molasses, some smoke, a little black tea and a whiff of sweet cocoa. Intensely sweet, moderately full-bodied and energetic palate with rather high acidity. Concentrated, vibrant and complex flavors of dust, dried apple slices, tart passion fruit, lemon, chocolate, some bruised apple, a little steeliness and a hint of dark tea. Incredible focus and depth with bright, zippy structure. Waxy, complex and infinitely long, acid-driven finish with flavors of roasted nuts, wizened green apple, syrup, some leather, a little cedar and a hint of lemon juice. Quite pronounced alcohol warmth. The high acidity cleans the mouth from the residual sugar sweetness, giving the wine a surprisingly bitter, spicy finishing touch that persists on the mouth for ages along with the complex, lingering flavors from the aftertaste. 1 person found this helpful, do you?

Similar colour to the Grand Old Boal, more like a Verdelho now, beautifully layered, remarkably refined and smooth, a bit salty, and true searing Sercial acidity on the finish. Has the patina of ancient Sercial, great finesse. |

3/10/2019 - Seth Rosenberg Likes this wine: 96 pointsFrom the 1/10th of a bottle or so that has been sitting around for years with sediment. Figured it was pretty still so I poured off a taste. The nose is pretty quiet - salty with some nuts and caramel, brown sugar, nutmeg and other brown spices but the palate is just dead on gorgeous - perfect balance of sweetness and acid, some toffee, nuts, saline, a touch of citrus zest. It is light and mouthfilling and just expands in the palate and grippy for a long while. The finish continues all of this - grippy and exciting with lingering sweetness, saltiness and perfume. Just wonderful. How long do I have to wait to pour off another taste? Nose - 4.5/6, Palate - 6/6, Finish - 5.5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 2/2 = 18/20. |

6/18/2019 - Seth Rosenberg Likes this wine: 96 pointsEvidently the answer to my previous question is 3 months and 8 days :) Took another small pour - definitely showing some sediment as we reach the bottom of the bottle. This is great. The nose is huge now (in a Zalto Red Burg bowl), with salty nuts, some dates, definite VA, allspice. Again spectacular on the palate - salty, sweet, great acid, nutty, spices, a touch of dates. Long beautiful finish that's salty, sweet and nutty. I wish I appreciated this more when I had tons. Nose - 5/6, Palate - 6/6, Finish - 5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 2/2 = 18/20 |

7/1/2011 - salil wrote: 96 pointsAmazing, eye-opening wine. A little blocky and warm initially, but with air it comes together and shows an incredible flavour profile combining molasses, black tea, roasted nuts, candied citrus peel and other savoury and sweet flavours; so much depth and nuance here that it's hard to describe accurately. There's moderate sweetness, superb balance and a finish that just keeps going while flavour after flavour unravels on the tongue, well after each sip has gone. What a treat, thanks Jay! |

2/18/2017 - doctornoah Likes this wine: 96 pointsMy 40th Birthday Weekend; 2/17/2017-2/20/2017: Caramel, hazlenut, dried orange peel, a little old dust and a lot of history. Very light sweetness and pleasant but not face-slapping acidity. This was wonderful. Hard to compare against the 1968 Boal - such different styles. |

Cognac, orange peel, toffee and autumnal spices: cinnamin, clove, allspice. Hints of tea. Elegance and power combined in the most uncanny way... wondeful persistance. The second best wine of the night. OUTSTANDING! |

Pure silk on the palate, this wine is insanely complex. Such purity of flavors and fresh acidity. Flavors of orange peel, dried flowers, almond, clove. Seemingly endless flavors and the complexity is insane. I’d could rattle of tasting notes and flavors, but it has a ton of them, so I’ll just throw out a 96 point score to indicate I think this wine slays. |

One of the 'Heavenly Quartet' wines. Bottled 1927, rebottled 1957, recorked 2011. Subtle nose of caramel, toffee - not too showy. Something special on the palate: not huge, just persistent, perfumed, so pure and flavorful. Burnt orange, figs, coffee. Very bright. Really balanced and powerful in the mouth but not at all heavy.

5/12/2016 - jerryjerry wrote: 96 pointsCask sample. How to rate this unique wine; Finally Tinta Negra gets it's recognition. Wonderfull, total elegance and exceptional. Reminds me of Saintsbury's words in Notes on a Cellar Book, in which he states that the greatest wines to him are great red burgundies and Great Madeiras. If there is a Madeira wine that comes close to a great burgundy, this is it. Whish he could have tasted this one. 96 is in leage with our thoughts. |
