TN: 1896 Leacock HFS "E" Vintage Madeira

Post by Steve Shapiro »

Dark amber with green edge. Intensely woody with peach and burnt sugar flavors predominating. Clear turpentine component that faded with aggressive decanting the wine back and forth between 2 glasses, but never completely dissipated. Rich, nutty boal flavors. Moderately long finish. Initially 16, but after the aggressive airing the wine was 18-/20. I suspect that with a few more weeks to blow off the bottle stink, this would be sensational. I'd love to try it again. (10/09)
