Sercial, 10 yr old, Vinhos Barbeito

Driest of the styles, yet one which manages to combine, with effortless whimsy, a certain intellectual formality with a broad luxuriant structure.
(Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer)

Barbeito’s Madeiras are to die for. Dry, with firm minerality, it’s salty, sea-breeze nose is bolstered by hazelnuts, figs and orange rind. Perfect for “elevenses, according to Michael Broadbent.
