TN: 1905 Unknown bottler Malvasia Vintage Madeira
Purchased from Funchal wine shop (by Barbeito). Molasses, a little white chocolate, lots of orange peel and cognac in the bouquet. Medium-full bodied, quite elegant in mouth. Hazelnut, caramel and orange flavors. Excellent acidity. Long finish. Not huge, but everything in perfect balance. 19. After 2.5 hours in the glass additional nut and a little cloves appeared on nose and palate, improving wine to 19.5/20. Will have long life. (3/10).
