[SOLD-OUT] D'Oliveira Madeira Tinta Negra 5YO N.V.

 

"Mixed dried fruits and nuts in a soft nose, all gooey and golden. There are dates and jar plums with fine old treacle from a tin can, a flourish of billy tea, and touches of aromatic timber and baking spice. Has a nicely defined palate with fruit extract and developing abstract secondaries providing a drying rail and grooving the palate. Succulence is nicely controlled - the sweetness only makes it halfway through the palate before the acid train takes over... but by then the mouth-feel us up and about and sugar has done its trick" - The Spanish Acquisition 

 

"Founded in 1850, D'Oliveiras is the most traditional of houses, and their wines are the most concentrated and earthy of Madeiras, yet brilliantly fresh and persistent. Each year they buy fruit from about 140 growers in various parts of the island. Production per annum is about 150,000 litres, but the bodega's holdings of mature wine total around 1.5 million litres of rare old gear in addition to current commercial reserves" - The Spanish Acquisition
