The fourth bottle on my 40th birthday week was this lovely surprise pour from a Somm friend at Tasting Group. While my Delectable account doesn’t reflect it, I’ve always been a sucker for Madeira and this was flat out delicious. Candied walnuts, orange fruit marmalade, creme brûlée, figs...all of the things. So richly layered and long lasting on the palate. Just lovely. — 10 days ago

Made in a style popular in Savanah 150 years ago. Mostly dry, round, lemony, nutty with refreshing acidity and a seemingly infinite finish. — a month ago

Remarkable mineral purity and concentration. The aroma is less interesting than before. — 5 days 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. — 13 days ago

Tasted blind. Reddish tawny, thin and very old looking. Notes of brown sugar, molasses, some wood. Medicinal. In the mouth it’s different than what I expected. Tastes like Port, but looks and smells like Madeira. Someone guesses Vin Santo. But based on the taste I go with old Port. — 7 days 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. — a month ago
