Tasting Notes
A highly dignified dry style well-aged vintage madeira is always reason for celebration, and this 1937 vintage is a prime example of the magic of this lovely grape varietal. Accompanying a stunning aroma of fig, cigar, lime, cherry and light spice, is an alluring palate of coastal salinity, roasted chestnut, lime peel and ravishing acidity, with polished precision and grip. Brilliant.
