R.H. Madeira 1873
Heavy two-part moulded Burgundy bottle, similar to the 1715 Terratez. Believed JCA & Co. from owners records. Re-corked in December 2015 by O.P. Brothers. New wax capsule. Level 2,5cms below base of cork (1)
José Gomes D'Araujo, Sercial Reserva Velha 1891
Original wax capsule. Slightly bin-soiled label. Level into neck (1)
Tasting note: Sercial, 1891; Aged in cask for 58 years. From the family reserves: Fresh smokey tones in a slightly sweet attractive nose, tobacco, leather and butterscotch aroma. Very fine, very nice nose. Tangy taste start, concentrated and intense. Lots of extract as can be expected of a long cask aged wine, touch spirity. On the finish some red grapefruit aroma and slight lingering bitter tone. Long. Very good wine. A classic Sercial with high natural concentrated acidity. April 2014.
Later that year the same sample bottle, shipped to NY for the pre-sale tasting, double decanted 9 hours in advance was phenomenal. A superb wine of great Sercial refinement, one of the best Sercials I have tasted. In the range of 18 vintage Madeira’s the wine that stood out in a top three. Dec 2014. Another bottle served at the pre-sale byob dinner in New York showed its class. One of the wines of the evening. Last tasted December 2015 E.V.
