The 1870 Boal from Joao Romao Teixeira was a contender for wine of the night. Brown with amber rim. Almonds on the nose. Unsurprising then that marzipan is on the palate with spices, licorice and nutmeg. Great freshness and a touch of menthol and more acidity than the other wines in the lineup. Just stunning. Andrew Jones of the Food & Wine Society did a great job bagging this from Christie's back in the day. — 4 years ago

Nutty roasted nose. 19% zippy acidity, nice long finish. Fucking adult koolaid.

Really nice mineral laced white with tangy lemon notes and a hint of ginger — 3 years ago
Raisins, candied carrots, fruitcake, oddly kerosene-sweet with a plethora of cooking herb scents and leather. Viscous and heavy mouthfeel buoyed by a citrus basket of orange peel, candied lemon peel, tangerine and lime, with cola, leather, bitter almond, cinnamon, ginger, and sarsaparilla. #henriquesandhenriques #madeira #Boal #portuguesewine #vinho — 4 years ago
