Manuel de Faria, Vinho Madeira Velho Meio Seco 1961
Bottled in 1997.
Lot 395 levels: bottom of neck or better; cracked wax capsules, some partially missing.
Lot 396 levels: two bottom neck, nine top shoulder, one upper shoulder. Cracked wax capsules, some partially missing with signs of old seepage, bin soiled labels, three wine stained and slightly torn.
"Dark iodine color. Sweet barley sugar nose, fine leathery, a touch of spirit. Intense nose from extended Canteiro aging. Soft, intense start, full dried fruits, nice flavored. After some time in the glass the wine developed further, showing more layers of its complex character. A wine of class." Last tasted April 2014, EV.
