H M Borges Tinta Negra Colheita Madeira 2005 Porto

Description

This wine is a truly evocative experience – reminiscent of a pirate’s treasure, to be precise. It’s brimming with notes of aged wood, like the varnished hulls of old ships, balanced by a rich caramel sweetness and a delicate honeyed quality. Hints of toasted almonds linger, undoubtedly a testament to its extended aging, and a subtle iodine note recalls the Atlantic waters of Madeira. Absolutely divine with a good aged cheese and a decadent chocolate pastel – a match made in heaven.
