Blandy's Bastardo 1954 Aged in the Blandy's wine lodge in the centre of Funchal for 40 years. 130 gr/ltr residual sugar. Bottled 1994 (1) Very rare, after phylloxera the Bastardo grape variety was nearly extinct. Hence the number of available bottles are limited. This wine comes from the private family reserves of the Blandy family. Only a few bottles remain. Tasting note: Sweet backward nose, dried red fruits. Somewhat coarse but later evolving to sweet dried currants and "honeycake" aroma's, revealing its phenomenal taste. Intense, ending with beautiful, slight red grapefruit bitterness. A rare beauty. Last tasted September 2011 at the Blandy Bi-Centennial Celebration E.V. Terrantez 1954 (1)
