1907 D'Oliveiras Malvazia Vintage Madeira

Theodore Roosevelt was president when this wine was born. There is no such thing as -great" vintage in Madeira for the wines as they undergo such a radical transformation that when you put them into casks it could take 50-100 years or more for the wines to come out of their shell. The two 1907 wines were crowd favorites on this night and I really liked them as well. Bitter orange and noticeable Rancido character, VA, aka bottle stank, with an abundance of brown spices, figs and fudge on the nose. Excellent
