1900 Shortridge & Laughton Moscatel
Bottled in the 1980s. All of S&L's wines were shipped around the Cape of Good Hope, they were the last of the Madeira producers to do this. When they closed, d'Oliveira bought their stocks. Opened 21 days before the tasting. Generous iodine scent; sweet on the palate yet full of acidity giving a great balance. Lovely texture to the wine. 93/100. Decanted 15-Dec-22. Decanted 21 days.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
2026: DR Very Old White, Graham Stone Terraces 2011, Quevedo Branco 1986 b.2026
