Details
Bual--1827
Matured in wooden casks until 1935, then put into demijohns, and finally bottled in 1988 just before shipping to England. Name and vintage painted on bottles. Special labels will be provided. Short unbranded corks, as is customary in Madeira
Tasting note: medium-deep amber with pronounced apple-green rim signifying both age and quality; very forthcoming, slightly lemon-tinged bouquet, high toned, ethereal like a fine old cognac, rich intense; medium sweet, full bodied, powerful wine. (J.M.B.)
3 bottles per lot
