IMPRESSIVE QUANTITIES OF HENRIQUES MADEIRA
Shipped directly from the lodges in Funchal of Justino Henriques and stored for some years in an air-conditioned warehouse in the ,
Northeastern United States until shipment to London this year for sale at Christie's
Now lying London, S.E.1
Offered duty-paid, but available in bond
Offered in original cartons
All bottles are stencilled in white lettering which is the traditional method used for identification in bin prior to the shipment. On the reverse side of the bottles are full detailed body labels. The bottles have wax seals. Alcoholic strength of this classic fortified wine is 19 Whilst many lower strength wines can be sensitive to repeated transportation, it is inherent in the nature of Madeira wine that it actually benefits from it. Indeed it was the use of Madeira as ballast in the shipment of freight to the West Indies, which has developed into the modern process of estufagem in the production of Madeira
Malmsey--Vintage 1933
Justino Henriques. Island-bottled
Tasting note: the adjective "rich" applies to the wine's colour, nose and taste. Medium amber; sweet, ethereal bouquest, cristallised violet, reminiscent of fine old cognac; glorious flavour, very sweet, great length. Superb. M.B.
