Bual--Vintage 1827 Quinta de Serrado In oak casks for 108 years, then transferred into demijohns and bottled in 1988 Bottles simply marked "1827" This lengendary and now very rare Madeira came from a very old stock from the estate of one of the Henriques family which was auctioned off by Christie's London in the late 1980s and early 1990s. "Tasted five times. A fabulous wine: a rich glowing amber with pronounced apple-green rim; sweet, slightly caramelly with scent of vanilla and spirit resembling a fine old cognac; still faily sweet, full-bodied, high alcohol, extract, sustaining power, intensity, incredible length and tingling acidity."
