H. M. Borges Madeira Reserva Seco 5 Anos Fortificado

Description

This H M Borges Reserva 5 Anos is a true Madeiran icon, a testament to patience. The colour, as Jancis Robinson would note, is almost ethereal, hinting at a remarkably concentrated experience. Expect prominent notes of citrus, alongside the classic dried fruit character – think pitanga and fig – interwoven with the mellow tones of oak, now noticeably subdued after five years of maturation. On the palate, the levadiano grape’s freshness offers a delightful counterpoint to the wine's lingering oak, resulting in a complex and refined wine, ideal for pairing with aged cheeses or grilled fish.
