[Madeira @ Triomphe (New York City)]: It was interesting to taste the same wine twice at a tasting -- but with almost a decade of difference in bottling date. This more-recent bottling was (too be expected) darker... but the great degree in difference was surprising... very much darker! I suspect the older bottling probably was put in demijohn and thus had considerably more "glass-time" than one would guess from the bottling date. This recent bottling had a somewhat subdued nose; sappy and rich on the palate for a Sercial. A bit soft on the acids. Considerable VA. Nice "training-wheels" Sercial. GOOD. (89 points)
