3 Barbeito's

1885 Barbeito Verdelho;
Light amber colour, raisins, citrus, touch of coffee, nuts, almonds, marsipan, orange marmalade, very complex, quite intence, great acidity, very refreshing, very long finish. 94

1863 Barbeito Boal;
Amber colour, raisins, figs, hints of apricots, nuts, almonds, hazelnuts, well balanced and complex, very fresh and livelly acidity, extremelly long finish. 95

1830 Barbeito Malvazia;
Tasted at Barbeito outside Funchal, served by Ricardo Freitas froma bottle he has in his office. He recons it to be one of the best Madeiras Barbeito has ever had, and he has this bottle open in his office for many years, taking a small sip a few times a year to have a taste of perfection. I was lucky enough to have a small sip. Amber with orange hints, light oxidation, raisins, figs, almost sweet nose, nuts, citrus, even the small amount in the glass fills the room with aromas, massive nose, extremelly complex. The palate is as extreme as the nose, the acidity dances back and forth on the tongue for minutes, always with new flavours, aftertaste for many minutes, extreme wine. 100
