For The Love Of Port

As you may know the Madeira wines have a potential to age for many years some maybe for 200 or more.
This wine is made from the Verdelho grape which means traditionally that the wine is dry or medium dry.
This wine has some sweetness, but the aging provides us with a lot of different dried fruits and sea aromas. Seaweed on the shore.
It has a great and very intens acid structure, still after 79 years. It litterarly explodes in your mouth and gives you a far out experience in different dried fruit flavours, and a very long finish. Some maybe know the term "rancio", a difficult term to discribe, but for me its a mix of aromas like oksidation and vinagre.

Enjoy, you are drinking history. :)

I had shared a bottle of this a few months back with friends for someone's 50th Birthday. We too found it to be quite the taste explosion, so fresh for its age. A stunner, and I would seek this again.

A very nice and enjoyable Verdelho, given the price. I think there are better ones out there in that range, but the 1929 is solid, nonetheless.
