Madeira of the week 16: Barbeito Malvazia

2000 Barbeito Malvazia Single Cask;
I hear you say, boring, too young... But this is a very limited production wine. Only 980 pieces of 500ml bottles were made. Orange gold with a seductive and elegant nose for it's young age. Orange zest, nuts, dried apricots, layered nose. Fresh acidity, even on the high side, giving liveliness and playfullness to the wine. Lovely balance and long length. 90
