followed by notes of leather and tobacco

Frasqueiras Pereira D’Oliveiras Verdelho Medium Dry 1989 over-92 followed by notes of leatherReally decadent, voluptuous nose, heaps of deep dried fruit concentration, golden treacly richness with a vegetal lining, with marmalade and billy tea for complexity and relief from density. Typical Verdelho plush citric mouth feel, and typical Madeiran buzzing acid relief. Delicately round with toffee sweetness cut entirely by zippy fruit skin tartness and electro tingle acidity.
