TN: 1994 Barbeito Vintage Malvasia

[Philip Harvey]

Single Cask 18a. (1,540 x 50 cl bottled in 2004) Sparkling bright amber mahogany. Furniture polish nose. Somewhat subdued toffee and caramel flavours – very grippy buy only medium weight. Again, that now familiar Barbeito grapefruit and "lockets" finish. This wine is in fact very similar in weight and flavour to the cask 81a Bual. This is nice, but perhaps not surprisingly it lacks the depth and complexity of the of the 20yr Malvasia. Having said that, it's half the price. Good.
