1957 d'Oliveira Old Wine Meio Doce Madeira

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

A sample saved from a tasting earlier in 2019. A late 1970s bottling of d’Oliveira's 1957 Tinta Negra Mole “Old Madeira”. Dark chestnut brown colour. Strong furniture polish on the nose. Slightly bitter chestnuts in a fiercely acidic molasses on the palate. Deep and intense flavours. Long, long finish. Fabulous Madeira. 95/100. Originally tasted 21-May-2019.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
