May 30, 2023 - fireworks on the nose: lemon and lime candies, herbs, flowers, light-roast coffee, dates...
supple and smooth, full and sweet but there's a gorgeous acid line to keep it long and balanced
always a privilege to drink old Terrantez!2 people found this helpful Comment -

January 8, 2023 - This was exceptional. Did not take detailed notes at the time, but wonderful complexity, subtlety, delicious flavor profile, well-integrated, perfect, light, smooth mouth feel. Perhaps the most impressive dessert wine I've tasted.

February 1, 2020 - I had a blast sharing this with my sister who had never had Madeira before. She loved it and was astounded by the acidity/sweetness dynamic.

October 16, 2019 - Dinner with Chris Blandy (Chicago, IL): I've had this wine before (from when Chris Blandy visited over five years ago), but I was a little shocked at how well this bottle showed. This is a slightly darker-complexioned madeira, showing a hint more brown sugar, but the exotic green herbs and lift is on full display. Exotic and wild in its flavour profile, but rounded in texture and acidity.
