1988 Madalena

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Served as an aperitif to the Matrix Tasting on 11 October 2011.

Very floral nose, full of spring bluebells and redcurrants. Smooth entry, full bodied with modest tannins, bags of fruit and a lovely balance. Delightful aftertaste. This is really nice drinking. 89/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
