Malvasia, 30-year-old, Lote Especial VInhos Barbeito

"The sweetest and richest wine from the Barbeito stable, a very special and rare blend from the best Malvasias from all over the island, their minimum rather than average age being 30 years. Ricardo only makes such a blend every ten years or so, only when he feels the quality merits this lofty designation. Tasting it, one can sense that one is in the company of greatness. Lifted, complex with a mahogany dignity and a nutty elegance, this has something of an old cognac to it, an ethereal charm, and baroque weight on the finish. Superb!"
