União Vinocola
Madeira Sercial
Funchal, Madeira, Portugal
I don't mean to break Delectable with this one, but I'm finishing this 1874 Madeira's final paradisiacal drops as I write this and trying to get my astonished jaw back in normal position. Opened it for special guests tonight, steeling myself for a could-have-been or perhaps a 6 or 7. It is close to a 10. Medium body yet willfully concentrated. Pungent sea air mixed with caramel . Has electric acidity (still). Harmonious and clean on its eternal finish. Beguiling and kaleidoscopic, like falling into wine version of the wormhole in the Jodie Foster movie Contact.
