NV Barbeito Sercial 10YO

Post by winesecretary »

Another light gold wine.

Distinctive iodine note on the nose.

On the palate grapey despite the dryness and salinity. Note of preserved lemons. Almost like a vin jaune in flavour profile.

This is a very attractive wine, punching well above its weight.

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.
