Verdelho, Blandy’s Madeira 1973

Tasting Notes

Dried citrus peel, mineral and iodine flavors are rich and powerful, supported by loads of fresh acidity. Very pure, with a lingering freshness on the finish, bolstered by some anise and savory notes. Drink now through 2035. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 82 cases made.

The intense combination of ripe, sweet fruit and amazing acidity that is Madeira is so evident in this wine. It has mature wood-aged acidity that cuts through the demerara sugar and smoky, toasty character, resulting in a wine that is totally memorable. Drink now.
