Nutty, coffee and sweet toffee fruit. So deep and complex and delicious. A great vivid streak of acidity Just wow!

After leaving the bottle standing for 1 day we have served this btl. Even though it's not a vintage 1894 but a solera, therefore a bit of the juice comes from 1894, still it was at the same time elegant, with clear signs of evolution and great acidity and much alive. I can't see how much better it can get.

1887 Henriques & Henriques Madeira. Celebratory drinks w K in SF. Couldn’t believe that it was so aged bc it was delicious. Nothing off putting abt it. Nice fruit. Not cloyingly sweet.

Magnificent. Amazing it has this much life after that much time. Coffee. Toasted honey. Butterscotch. A bit of charcoal. Longest finish I've experienced in a port or Madeira. It was an adventure.

1894 vintage. Knock out. Piercing acidity. And length.
