D'Oliveiras 1907 Malvazia Madeira, Portugal

"96 Points.  The 1907 Malvasia from d’Oliveira’s is a great old wine at its absolute apogee of peak drinkability. The stunning nose soars from the glass in a blend of heather, desiccated cherries, fresh figs, honey cake, a touch of cigar wrapper, rancio, salty soil tones, a touch of iodine and a vibrant topnote of orange zest. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and simply bottomless in its depth, with perfect balance and focus, tangy acids, a great synthesis of opulent sweetness and uplifting structure and a very, very long, complex and magical finish. Sheer brilliance!"--John Gilman

"95 Points.  Offers a rich, earthy aroma, with flavors of juniper berry, hazelnut, cocoa and butter pastry, featuring vibrant acidity. Shows concentrated smokiness midpalate, accented by hints of baker's chocolate. The powerful finish offers a rush of exotic spice accents."--Wine Spectator
