2007 Henriques & Henriques Single Harvest Verdelho

Post by winesecretary »

Clear light brown.

Very smoky on the nose.

In the mouth full, ripe, a rather good note of quinces poached in spiced wine.

Quite sweet for a verdelho on the finish, which has some muted cinnamon and nutmeg.

Very pleasant, but not an exceptional verdelho, or an exceptional wine for Henriques & Henriques.

One of the samples discussed as part of the Madeira Masterclass of the Big Fortified Tasting, presented by Rubina Viera from the IVBAM on Thursday 29th April 2021.
