Borges Terrantez 1846
"Bottled 1900". Recorked, new wax capsules. Bin-soiled labels. Levels into neck
Tasting note: With unfailing regularity I am asked which is my favorite wine (after all these years where do I start)? I fall back on old Madeira. And to take with me if stranded on a desert island I can be very specific: HM Borges 1862 Terrantez, or failing that the 1846. Several notes. First in 1973. The best bottled in 1900. Magnificent: orange-tinged; the acme of refinement yet amazingly powerful. What a great Madeira is all about. Last tasted January 1990 **** M.B.
