One of my bottles from my annual WWC hosting.
“Carcavelos is the smallest wine appellation in Portugal and is amongst the rarest of wines. Vinho generoso. Oxidative in character.”
My last of three bottles. Always enjoy opening a birth year bottle around my birthday and these can age indefinitely. Profile wise, this is a bit like an Oloroso + Madeira. The sharp and tangy sherry profile is evident from first smell, and the oxidative notes carry to some toffee and a slightly more rich profile bringing out familiar Madeira notes. The interplay of the tangy and rich toffee is unique and delicious. A fun dessert wine to sit back and enjoy. — 8 months ago

A very nice Encruzado blending the fruity (salty pears, reine claude plums, green melon) with a cool mineral core. Nicely balanced with zippy acidity, medium body, a touch of creaminess on the palate and very nice, long finish.
Moreish & very drinkable. — 4 days ago
