1981 Pereira d'Oliveira Verdelho

Post by winesecretary »

A good solid brown with a green rim.

On the nose, ah, d'Oliveiras, I love them so. You could sell this stuff as a men's fragrance - woodsy, spicy.

So BROAD on the palate. Hints of marzipan and crystallised kiwi fruit and kumquat.

Finish a mile long. Coffee, late.

I keep returning to this. Brilliant wine.

One of the samples discussed as part of the Madeira Masterclass of the Big Fortified Tasting, presented by Rubina Viera from the IVBAM on Thursday 29th April 2021.
