NV Blandy Terrantez 15YO

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Blandy’s Terrantez 15YO, bottled 2002. A rich golden-brown colour. Bright nose, warm and savoury. Acidic entry, bitter grapefruit on the mid-palate, saline and iodine palate but with some residual sugar to deliver a medium-sweet sensation. Glorious aftertaste, rich and full of bitter-sweet marmite. Beautifully balanced and refined. From vineyards which vanished in the early 1990s under the Madeira shopping centre.  92/100. Drunk 03-Mar-24.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

2026: DR Very Old White, Graham Stone Terraces 2011, Quevedo Branco 1986 b.2026
