(Barbeito Madeira Malvazia) Medium brown color with ruby lights and pale, slightly greenish, meniscus; VA, orange, cherry, faint coffee nose; rich, tart cherry liqueur, tart cherry, tart blood orange palate with medium acidity, and hottest of our 12 Madeiras; long finish 91+ pts. (Only bottle of the dozen in our tasting that wasn't owned by Mario Barbeito; his grandson, Ricardo Freitas, purchased it because it was Mario's birth year, and Mario had always wanted to own a Madeira from that year. Wine is from Jardim do Mar, purchased from the de Barros family.)

Madeira @ The Modern: Homage to Mario Barbeito (NYC): Probably sourced from Jardin do Mar, from the de Barros family. This was the one wine in the tasting that was NOT purchased by Mario Barbeito, but by his grandson Ricardo Freitas who was always searching for a wine from 1905 -- Mario's birth year. Dark tawny with a tan rim. A delicate, soft wine. Nice nutskin and treacle flavors; lovely lip-smacking bitterness. Delicious, but a bit thin compared to its peers in the flight.
