Roy,
will the new bottling have Terrantez as part of the blend?

Re: What Madeira Have You Opened This Week?
Not positive, but I told Ricardo that I was much more of a fan of the first bottling with more Terrantez (obviously) than the 2nd blend which was just a'ight, imo.

Re: What Madeira Have You Opened This Week?
I don't think the second bottling had any Terrantez. The first had about 20% of Barbeito's Reserve Terrantez if I remember correctly.

Re: What Madeira Have You Opened This Week?
My big order from RWC arrived today, so I opened a 1989 D'Oliveiras Malvasia to see what it's like.
Very nice. Nothing like the oldies that introduced me to Madeira, but good in its own way. Glad I bought 3, as this will make a really good "standard" Madeira for me.

NV H&H 10-year boal
NV H&H 15-year verdelho
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?

Love the 1983 MEF. A richer style for them.

Re: What Madeira Have You Opened This Week?
NV Broadbent Terrantez Old Reserve (produced and bottled by Justino Henriques)
NV Henriques & Henriques 20 Years Old Terrantez
No bottling date on either bottle.
Back in 2006 I purchased from Patrick Grubb a bottle of Justino Henriques 10 year old Terrantez bottled in 2000. I drank it the same time as a bottle of the Broadbent Old Reserve. I remember preferring the Justino Henriques to the Broadbent. Does anyone know if they were different blends?

1977 D'Oliveiras Terrantez.
Re: What Madeira Have You Opened This Week?
My last night in Porto before heading to Lisbon for our Five Regions Tour, slurping on a 1999 Barbeito Tinta Negra. Not quite as good as the several 1929 Tinta Negra I had last week, but this is a really fun young one to sip on. Glad I have a handful of these in my cellar, as soon it will be a Frasqueira and the price will be much higher.
