March 24, 2011 - Blandy's Madeira Bicentenary Celebration (The Cooper Square Hotel, NYC): [“Generally very fine, Sercial especially.” is how Noël Cossart defines this vintage from the precipitously steep southwest facing vineyards of Jardim da Serra, where the best Sercial on the island comes from.]
This was relatively light in color with exquisite dried floral, honey and tea flavors. Extremely lively acidity with a zesty lemon/lime bite. The vise-like grip was long and forceful; continues to linger long after it was spit out. I was shaking my head in astonishment at how good the Sercials were showing at this tasting – especially since they were interspersed between sweeter wines. This is an outstanding example of the varietal.1 person found this helpful Comment
