J. Lomelino, Boal Velhissimo Extra Reserva Particular 1850
Lot 397 one with signs of seepage, one faded vintage neck label
Lot 398 slightly bin soiled & very slightly damaged label
Lot 399 rebottled in 2014 by Ricardo Diogo de Freitas of Barbeito
"Ethereal, waxy nose of great concentration. High toned, a bit on the varnish side at first with an underlying sweetness. After some air the slight chemical tone vanished and what remained was a lovely old Madeira concentration of dried apricots, old wood and Indian spices. Pure and intriguing. Slightly dry start for a Boal, waxy tones, old furniture. On the finish the sweet concentrated fruit grabs you before giving way to a nice byte of alcohol and concentrated acidity. Very good concentration and length. A wine of character." 17.5/20. EV, May 2015.
