TN: 1895 Madeira HFS "JPW"

[The Leacock Family Madeiras (Hotel Monaco, San Francisco, CA)]: Dark, but not as much as the 1896 HFS "E" that preceded this. More "sweet" bottle aged flavors, although not as expressive as the previous wine. Medium sweet, elegant and nice juicy acidity, although again, not as precise as the previous wine. Lovely wine, but for me, overshadowed by the 1896 HFS "E". This is believed to have been laid down for Julian Philip, born in 1893, the son of John Milburne Leacock. (92)
