D'Oliveiras Madeira, 1875

Sercial Madeira

Description and Reviews:
"A beautiful amber hue with saffron and olive notes at the rim. The nose is quite glorious – really takes hold of your senses. Though dry, the palate is peppered with shards of jaggery, splinters of sweet caramel and subtly sweet and spicy chutney. The smoky guava-edged finish is charged with a sulphurous, volcanic note. A journey in a glass. Edgy, but in a good way." Sarah Ahmed The Wine Detective


Mid-deep amber-mahogany, one of the darker wines in the line up; very lifted, high toned and rather balsamic on the nose, quite pungent and smokey too; rich initially, thick cut but dry marmalade with a rather coarse, slightly salty finish, the richness offset by pronounced acidity. Richard Mason
