TN: 1885 Barbeito Malvazia Vintage Madeira

Post by Marco D. »

[Madeira @ The Caucus Room (Washington DC)]: This wine was purchased by Barbeito from the Alfonso family and comes from the Cama dos Lobos vineyards. Butterscotch, molasses and honey. Hints of vanilla. Higher in acids than the 1895 D'Oliveira Malvazia (which makes it better, in my opinion). This wine is interestingly both contemplative and hedonistic. I could easily drink this all night without tiring. Lean (for Malvazia) and mean and long in the finish. OUTSTANDING. (95)
