19. Amazing. Depth. Luscious. Long. Have some Madeira... — 3 years ago
Lemon/lime, subtle creaminess, and great salty funk. Akin to a lemon/lime milkshake gose... if such a thing existed — 5 years ago
@Delectablewine Delectablewine this is the terrantez. Poor terrantez—very nearly extinct on Madeira, though I hear subsidies are having some success in reviving it. For my palate it’s the golden mean—tremendous character & acidity, just enough sweetness. This is so elegant and quietly powerful. Aromas are on point and palate is beautifully structured with the pleasing rapier finish emblematic of the varietal. Lovely stuff. — 3 years ago
Very good, but not not the best example. — 5 years ago
What a treat. Followed the ‘71 Terrantez— itself excellent. Despite the extra 121 years, the verdelho had brighter acids and shows torrified fruit, salt, caramel, apricot, and just tremendous palate density pulled along neatly by the acids. — 3 years ago
Cork took me a while, that’s why I’m not a Sommelier. Gorgeous honey color, almost amber. Caramel, honey, roasted nuts and dried tropical fruit on the nose. Full body, with high acid and alcohol on the minutes long finish. This is great. — 4 years ago
