1875 D'Oliveiras Moscatel:
Kommer som spesialbestilling/horeca, tilgjengelig fra rett før jul/ romjulen antageligvis. Kontakt Symposium for info/bestilling.
En meget sjelden drue på og i Madeira, og finnes knapt i yngre utgaver. Moscatel har blitt benyttet som spisedrue på Madeira de siste cirka hundre årene, så Moscatel er stort sett kun på finne på gamle årganger. Jeg har smakt denne ikke mindre enn seks ganger, noen flasker er opulente, andre er raffinerte og til og med livlige, noe som er sjeldent i en moscatel. Siste flaske var frisk og livlig, mye nyanser, nesten brun på farge, rik og mer oksidativ stil, enda så leken. Svært lang. 94


Portvin:
Portvin lages også i stupbratte terasserte vinmarker, men denne gangen stiger de ikke rett opp av dypet fra Atlanterhavet. Nei, her stuper de heller ned i elven Douro inn i landet fra byen Porto og innover mot Spania hvor elven flyter gjennom blant annet vindistriktet Ribera del Duero på sin vei mot havet. Her er det ett stort utvalg tillatte druesorter, så mange at en gang jeg spurte Dirk Niepoort under en tur der nede, og jeg lurte på hvilke druer som var i vinen, så spurte han om jeg likte den. Jo det gjorde jeg jo, er det da så farlig med druesortene svarte han med ett lurt smil.

Tawny er viner som er ferdiglagret fra produsent og som er pop and pour. Passer godt til mye av det samme som Madeiraene beskrevet over. Late bottled vintage eller LBV er en ruby, det vil si en yngre vin, som har ligget endel år på fat og er derfor uten så mye bunnfall. Disse er på mange måter drikkeklare ved salg, men kan utvikle seg videre ved lagring. Her er det frukt og kraft og sjokkoladedesserter er ofte glimrende følge. Vintage er storebror, slippes i ung alder, rik og kraftig med mye tanniner og bunnfall, så disse bør ofte dekanteres med alder. Noen av disse tåler tiår i kjelleren, og 2011 er en slik årgang. Den vil bli legendarisk, og de beste vinene her overgår alt jeg har smakt av unge viner fra samme produsent fra andre år. Vinene kommer i smakt rekkefølge.
