1954 Henriques & Henriques Madeira Boal

3/21/2024 - acyso wrote: 93 points

Bottled in 1993. Much darker in profile than the 1957 alongside; more rancio and spice notes, with a thicker, caramel quality on the palate as well. The oak seems to stick out a touch here, but not overbearingly so, though it provides an inflection to the spice that I don't normally find in Madeira. Hard to say which of the two vintages I preferred though.

Bottled in 1992. Quite light on the palate and nose, especially for a boal. Delicate, with plenty of orange peel notes and much less rancio and richness than I would expect. Actually, kind of low in acid for Madeira as well, but that makes it pretty approachable and drinkable now.

This has classic Boal character. Medium-bodied with relatively high acid and a long finish. Improved over a month. This is a great wine.

New bottle. Same taste.
________
same bottle. March 9. Syrupy. Broken with Montgomery's clothbound. The meeting was walnut garland and nixon. Drenched with fluid orchard blossom glycerin. Acid is buried. Sercial freeks need to move on. Or add tonic and lime, lol.
________
same bottle. April 30 (chasing Valdespino Isabela,) absorbing a common sticky block of Colston Bassett. Rain/petrichor travels through the core. The torus of texture that surrounds that is sotolon/fenugreek oriented. As the winter hotel season closes, this pour suddenly seems more palatable, more freshly flavored and textured.

Very surprised at how freshand light this was (I guess the name rainwater might have given it away). Nuts, fresh acidity and a saline note. Very easy to drink

The 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!

Complex and deep with toffee and caramel notes dominate. Acidity balances the sweetness. An amazing, ancient wine worth seeking out.

Toasted salty Brazil nuts on the nose, along with a moderate rancio note. That all comes through on the palate as well, along with a subtle but distinct smoky burnt char note. Some sugary sweetness arises in the midpalate then lingers in the finish. From a bottle that had been open ~1 month.

Love this grape. Lighter, more acidic, with barely any sweetness making it so different than other Madeiras.

Nice raisin and rancio aromas and flavors, along with a fair amount of sugar, though there is enough acidity to keep it from being unbalanced. A good example of 10 year old bual, but not particularly complex.

Fruit of dark raisins and plum. Smoke, burned sugar, liquorish and intense nutty flavors. Nice acidity. Good balance, but mediocre aromatic intensity on the palate.

At the estate in camara de Lobos. Tasted by the glass no idea when the bottle was opened. Dark hue, deep maron with dull borders, a little foggy. Nose of wet ground, noble pen ink, dry whalnut, old cupboard wood. Mouth with polished struture, complex old flavours with noble herbal touch, but all the wine is overtake by high amount of young sweatness, surprising.

Tasted by the glass at the estate in Camara de Lobos. Superb dark brown hue of chestnut peal. Palate powerfully flavoured with strong structure; good acidity, high bitter and alcohol. Flavours of caramel whalnuts, orange jamed. A perfect rich style, with the best balance of Madeira in my experience, powerfull end with no edges, just strong bodybuilding. Long finish on fantastic orange jam.

Tasted by the glass at the estate Camar de Lobos. Bottle open one week ago: light hue for that vintage. Palate with super power of the classic flavours of orange, whalnut, caramel, those are well melted. Strong structure with a distinctive acidity, good bitter and the usual heat . Sweatness sensation is medium, elegant chalky finish. Very nice precision and balance in all dimensions. Superb 95. My humble best Madeira for the moment.

There are a range of reviews that are all quite on point, but I do wonder if any of them have addressed the central issue - this is what it is; a very good Madeira at its price point.

For the coin, you get a lot more than you probably should in terms of length, intensity and even complexity. This is true Madeira; it combines sweet and dry beautifully. Butterscotch, toffee, burnt orange. It is hard to put down. However, if you have ever really had top grade Madeira, this will leave a slight sense of 'not quite'; but then you ain't paying top Madeira prices.

This wine grows on you the more you sip. Medium brown color. Scent of caramel and hazelnut. Tasted caramel, raisins and a hint of toffee. As sweet as it is bold. Also acidic.

Having tried the previous bottling (with no silver sticker) and the current stickered bottling, I can say the previous was much more striking and vibrant. The new one has toned the acidity down and placed more emphasis on the chocolate, foliage, and hazelnut.

Still a very good representation of this rare style, but look for the sticker-less ones if you can.

Top 100 Farewell Dinner 2015 (Rodwell House): (Tasted Blind): Made entirely from the Terrantez grape variety and with 20% alcohol, the wine is dry on entry with fabulous acid, gorgeous concentration and utterly complex.
Fabulous length in the mouth, the wine shows candied orange, ginger, lime, lemon-edged marmalade, and cinnamon dust. Incredible wine!
