Roy,
will the new bottling have Terrantez as part of the blend?

Post by **Roy Hersh** » Wed Dec 06, 2017 7:19 pm

Not positive, but I told Ricardo that I was much more of a fan of the first bottling with more Terrantez (obviously) than the 2nd blend which was just a'ight, imo.

I don't think the second bottling had any Terrantez. The first had about 20% of Barbeito's Reserve Terrantez if I remember correctly.

Justino’s Colheita 1996.
Extremely thick and rich. Very sweet.
Great value.

My big order from RWC arrived today, so I opened a 1989 D'Oliveiras Malvasia to see what it's like.

Very nice. Nothing like the oldies that introduced me to Madeira, but good in its own way. Glad I bought 3, as this will make a really good "standard" Madeira for me.

NV H&H 10-year boal
NV H&H 15-year verdelho
NV H&H 20-year malvasia

The 15-year verdelho has been the best overall, so far. I'll get some of the 20-year verdelho pretty soon. Has anyone tried it?

In a tasting with:

1983 MEF Verdelho

RWC Porto Moniz Malvasia

We also had some 1989 D'Oliveiras Malvasia (2017 bottling) that had been open a couple of months for comparison.

And some Vin Santo.

Love the 1983 MEF. A richer style for them.

NV Broadbent Terrantez Old Reserve (produced and bottled by Justino Henriques)
NV Henriques & Henriques 20 Years Old Terrantez

No bottling date on either bottle.

Back in 2006 I purchased from Patrick Grubb a bottle of Justino Henriques 10 year old Terrantez bottled in 2000. I drank it the same time as a bottle of the Broadbent Old Reserve. I remember preferring the Justino Henriques to the Broadbent. Does anyone know if they were different blends?

Borges 15 yo Malmsey.
I love this wine, one of the best bargains IMHO.

My last night in Porto before heading to Lisbon for our Five Regions Tour, slurping on a 1999 Barbeito Tinta Negra. Not quite as good as the several 1929 Tinta Negra I had last week, but this is a really fun young one to sip on. Glad I have a handful of these in my cellar, as soon it will be a Frasqueira and the price will be much higher.

For The Love Of Port
