Hard to beat Tamlyn Currin's 17/20 point note on JancisRobinson.com: Smells like raisins, tastes like whiskey barrels dipped in honey and apricot syrup. Nice citrus-oil bitterness, like chewing cumin seeds, like breathing... Read More
As Bartholomew explains, Boal (Portuguese) or Bual (English), both are Malvasia Fina. No one said the study of Madeira was easy. Wine Spectator described this well in a 92 point review of a previous release: Shows a slightly plump... Read More
Sweet and rare, this is a 75 case bottling of a single cask of 2009 vintage Malmsey selected by Bartholomew Broadbent. Not much to add to the Wine Spectator 92 point review that appeared last week: This is a flattering Madeira,... Read More
