Vieira Malvasia Madeira 1958

9.3

A rich cinnamon tar jumps out of the glass, like a heavily spiced hard-crack toffee. There are warm notes of golden raisins, rum cake, and cream cheese icing, with a slight balsa wood and golden leaf tobacco, both of which come to the forefront on the palate. The slightest lingering apricot fiber on the tail. Incredible. — 6 years ago

Special Reserve Porto Moniz Malvasia

This is a great little secret Madeira under the RWC label. Not one of their cheaper varietal blends, as solid as they are - this is more special, unique stuff. According to RWC, this was a Favilla Vieira Madeira discovered by Ricardo Freitas with no vintage date but an estimated age of 40-50 years old when bottled in 2010. There is also a Verdelho. I preferred this Malvasia when I first opened them together a few months back, as it was just as complex but richer and denser. It's actually streamlined itself considerably over the last few months - do NOT open this if you are in the mood for one of those treacly sweet, port-like malvasias. This is highly acidic (RWC notes that it comes from the cool northwest side of the island), lime-juicy and angular, still having a vivid green tinge in the glass. In fact it feels only a tick sweeter than the Verdelho at this point and might even come across dryer than the Verdelho did when first opened. Buzzes with all sorts of cool energy, even seems to have a shisito-pepper-like snap, and at this point the top notes are dominant although of course there is also some deeper dried fruit nuances underneath. — 10 years ago

Douro Reserva Pessoal Branco Gouveio Blend 2005

2005 Alves de Sousa Reserva Pessoal Branco
Made in an oxidized style, the color is a deep gold and the nose reveals notes of saline, almonds, ginger and sweet bread dough. This reminds me of a denser white Rioja, ala Lopez de Heredia. The palate adds some licorice, white plum and a toasty finish from the oak. Good acidity, 12.5% abv., medium+ length. Grape Varieties - Gouveio, Malvasia Fina, Viosinho and other old varieties from the Douro
