97 NM. "A reputed year for Malvasia, this was aged over 90-years at their warehouse in Rua dos Ferreiros . . . . This has a very fresh, very complex nose with notes of crème brûlée, dried apricot, quince, hints of wild strawberry and fresh fig. A really stunning bouquet, developing a touch of chlorine with time. The palate is just huge: incredibly powerful, spicy, hints of caramel, fig, Indian spice, Chinese 5-spice with an extravagant bravura finish that is so viscous and beautifully defined with apricot lingering seductively on the back-palate. Stunning." Neal Martin, Wine Journal |
