Blandy's Sercial Vintage Madeira 1990

Crafted on the island of Madeira, this rare 1990 Frasqueira Vintage Madeira was aged for decades in seasoned oak casks under the traditional Canteiro system. Sourced from the dry Sercial grape variety, it presents complex aromas of dried citrus peel, roasted nuts, iodine, dried apricot, and warm oak spices. Crisp, bone-dry, and deeply concentrated on the palate, it exhibits a striking, razor-sharp natural acidity that carries through to an incredibly long, savory finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs brilliantly with salted nuts, olives, aged Manchego, consommé, or served as an extraordinary aperitif.

Singed almond and tangerine peel notes lead the way in this bracing version, with hazelnut husk, toasted white sesame and citrus oil accents extending the mouthwatering finish nicely. Drink now. 100 cases made, 17 cases imported.

94 Points - Wine Enthusiast 

An intense, smooth Madeira, this has a fine bite of nuttiness and acidity. The wine's blend of ripeness and total dryness has aged well, giving an all-around drinkable wine.
