Malvasia Fresqueira--Vintage 1900 Barbeito Bottled in October 1995, stencilled bottles "Opaque, amber brown; sweet, very rich, chocolatey nose and flavour yet with a refined, ethereal finish. Although there has been a long tradition of serving madeira with soup, usually with turtle soup, before roast beef at Lord Mayors' banquets, the correct wine should be Sercial or Verdelho. This Malvazia was too sweet, so I kept mine until after the port. At the annual III Form Club dinner at Boodle's, London, Jan 2000 ****" MB, Vintage Wine
