Tasting Notes

A sensational vintage madeira from 1971 and a wonder to behold, expressing an elegant bouquet of salty almond, lime peel, white peach, small flowers and mint. In the glass, there is a refreshing touch of citrus fruit, toffee and eucalyptus, counterbalanced by some smokiness and searing acidity. The finish is replete with mineral notes and outstanding length.
