TN: 1907 D'Oliveiras Reserva Vintage Malvazia Madeira
Posted: Wed Nov 04, 2009 10:50 am
Medium tawny/chestnut colour, colour flowing evenly through edge. Hint of yellow in rim. Nose deeper with lemon and tangerine peel notes.
On palate, persistent orange peel. Much weightier in mouth and very concentrated. Some balancing acidity. Overall, the flavour, although deep, lacked some complexity. Recommend drinking now – don’t think this one will improve with more age and it shows typical Malmsey style now (incidentally scheduled to try this again next month).
