Joao Romao Teixeira, Terrantez 1870 First recorked in 1978, then recorked in 2015 by OP. New wax capsules. Small new labels. Levels one 3cms, two 4cms Tasting note: First tasted June 2015. Deep amber colour. Intense nose of balsamic aromas, honey cake, old furniture wax, rose petals, orange peel and sugared dates. Intriguing, a classic long cask aged nose of a high quality Madeira. Full elegantly sweet start of taste, lifted acidity, fine grapefruit bitters, dried orange aromas, all well balanced leading to a long slightly sweet finish. Love the natural concentration and fine acidity. A very good madeira with lingering after taste. Later that year at the pre-sale byob dinner in NY one of the highlights of the evening. Sweet well balanced with fresh acidity. A great Terrantez. Consistent notes since. Last tasted August 2016. EV. 3 bottles per lot
