D'Oliveiras
Reserva Madeira Sercial
Hands down winner from today's #Elevenses @Christie's Wine. Bottled in the 70s, recorked in 2011. Sercial, so you know the acidity is in full effect, but the wine is really harmonious and balanced. It's not as "offbeat" as some other older Madeiras I've had, and honestly would be straightforward to pair with food...roast chicken, for one.

Jun 1st, 2015This doesn't even taste of wine. It's, like, a whole other beverage. Sour, acidic, rich. Surprisingly little nuttiness. But what an experience.

Jun 3rd, 2015Bottled in the 1970s, recorked in 2011 and drinking perfectly right now. Beautifully balanced, acidity still very much present -- and guarantees years of drinking left.
