Vinhos Barbeito
The Rare Wine Co. Charleston Sercial Special Reserve Madeira


Fantastic bottle. Raw tartness and power structured by the unique geometry of oxidative winemaking. Sweet dried fruit nose with grilled walnuts, and the body is sherry-like, but with a vibrant bite that transcends all but the very best sweet sherry. Mushroom, rum, caramel, and berry liquor. So good.

I can appreciate these wines but I still do not have the palate for some. Notes of Saline, rubber cement and maple syrup on the nose. The palate I was getting caramel popcorn, pecan and Saline.

Dainty, if thats possible, paired @Ruffian wine bar w desert. Definitely more of a foil for desert than a journey into the wine. Has a nice spine of some acidity which i didnt expect

Lord Stanley served this chilled and it was delicious. Not to sweet and soft acidity and more sherry notes than I'm used to.

This is a fantastic issue by Rare Wine & Co and is very representative of its style. Just please give it many more years, 7 to 10 I would say. Cool stuff and decently priced.
