1954 H&H Terrantez

Joe,

This 1922B is the best bottle that I have had. I thought that previous bottles did not quite live up to Liddell's review. This bottle may have benefitted from longer time in the bottle.

1976 Blandy's Terrantez (bottled in 1997)

1922 D'Oliveira's Boal (bottled in 2005)

1879 VJH Sercial Solera (bottled unknown)

1969 Blandy's Terrantez (bottled in 1992)

1979 HM Borges Sercial (bottled unknown)

1950 Barbeito Faja dos Padres Terrantez (bottled in 2002)

This bottle was one of two acquired at auction (Spectrum) in 2012.

1910 Leacock's Malmsey (bottled unknown)

1910 Barbeito Sercial (bottled in 2002)

Oops! Forgot one.

1920 Blandy's Bual (bottled unknown)

1900 D'Oliveira's Moscatel (bottled unknown)
This wine really exposes my sweet tooth. Not cloying, even with low acidity.

1954 H&H Terrantez (bottled 2008)
I think that I have found my desert island wine.

1954 H&H Malmsey - Bottled in 1987 (front label) or October 1986 (back label).

This is not overly sweet. The finish is short and I hope it will evolve with some air time.

NV H&H 20-year malvasia

The 15-year verdelho has been the best overall, so far. I'll get some of the 20-year verdelho pretty soon. Has anyone tried it?

1950 JB moscatel (bottled by Barbeito)

I confess to having a sweet tooth.

If I had not drunk the the 1950 moscatel, my top madeira would have been 1912 D'Oliveira's verdelho, a reliable great experience.
