For The Love Of Port

Madeira @ Triomphe (NYC): This wine ushered in a huge jump in impact and intensity. The nose exhibited an extremely extroverted mixture of butterscotch, molasses and orange skin – a wine that could satisfy me by smell alone. Lovely dried fruits and spicecake flavors swirled on the palate; laser-like acidity remained in perfect balance with the sweetness. Clearly the wine of the flight for me. From what I understand, this was the wine served at the wedding of Ricardo deFreitas’ mother (Ricardo is the managing director at Barbeito and the grandson of the founder). OUTSTANDING. 97 Points
