Cunha, Malvasia Velha 1870
Bottled from demi john in 2016 by Francisco Albuquerque. New wax capsules. Stencilled bottles. Levels into neck
Tasting note: First tasted February 2016 then a high toned nose, spirity, straw, and slightly raisined. Very mature appearing. Rosehip tone. Quite punchy on the nose. With some air the spirity acetone tone vanished slowly giving way to concentrated subdued sweet Sweet start with high acidity, raisins, waxy, and intense. On the side a warm spirity tone finalizing with some natural bitters and orange zest. Intense concentrated wine with a bite. Powerful. On the after taste sweeter and more balanced, in concentrated orange fruit style. Later that year showing more charm. Rich intense nose of sweet sun ripened fruits, honey, floral tones, and hint a of peaches, slightly ethereal, quite intriguing. Soft taste start, raisiny, dried peaches and uplifted. On the finish touch of bitterness and alcohol. Long cask aged style. Fresh finish of creamy flavors and dried peaches. Very good. June 2016 EV.
