Blandy's Bual 1954
Re-bottled in March 2006. Metal capsule. Slightly bin-soiled label. Level into neck <\t>(1)
Blandy's Malmsey 1954
Bottled 1975. 130gr/l residual sugar<\t>(1)
Tasting note: Deep, slightly gamey tone at first, some air helped open up the wine to an intense perfumed ,somewhat pronounced aroma, of caramel and honey cake (a great Madeira specialty). Somewhat rustic giving way to sweet cherries and Dutch honey cake. At first closed and seemed lacking taste but after half an hour in he glass the wine showed its class and deeper aroma's. The slight red grapefruit bitterness later showed itself in a richer more integrated taste making it a complex union of taste. A great surprise showing the complexity of a fine Madeira. Tasted September 2011 E.V.
Cossart Gordon Sercial 1954
Bottled 2010 <\t>(1)
Tasting note: Sweet nose, acid drop and cinnamon aroma's. Subtle small apples on taste with acidity in the background. Touch alcoholic at first, later more refined and aromatic on final. Fabulous wine. Tasted November 2010 E.V.
Leacock's Verdelho 1954
