1827 Quinta de Serrado Bual Madeira

(95 Points) Open 2 1/2 weeks. Intense aromas of smoke, cocoa and fruitcake are followed by nut and caramel flavors and a medium-sweet, rich palate offset by a salty tang that really gives character. There's a little astringency and heat, yet this seems young, exuberant and full of personality. (BS) Wine Spectator, Review Date: 04/1999
