Fairly sweet, very fresh and mouthfilling; flavours of bitter orange peel, cooked apricot and nuts envelope your brain as you sip this. A block buster with almost infinite ageing potential.
“The 1966 D’Oliveiras Verdelho Reserva is drop-dead gorgeous. This is a remarkably poised, sublime wine made in an understated style that occupies a middle ground between the sweeter and drier styles of Madeira. The wine offers outstanding persistence on the palate and a finish that lasts forever. Nothing in particular stands out here, just the wine’s phenomenal harmony. This is a contemplative, surreal Madeira that can easily be enjoyed on its own.” Antonio Galloni, The Wine Advocate
