1994 D'Oliveiras - Madeira Malvazia Colheita (750ml)
Pereira D’Oliveira was founded in Funchal in 1850 and is still run by the family. Its cellars hold one of Madeira’s great collections of single-vintage wines, aged slowly in old oak and released only when they’re ready. This 1994 Malvazia spent three decades in cask in the family’s century-old lodges, and it shows. It won the Malvasia Trophy and a Gold medal at the International Wine Challenge, where judges called it “rich, unctuous and complete.” Expect toffee, toasted nuts, marmalade and caramelized dried fruit. The palate is full and mouth-filling, cut by Madeira’s signature racy acidity, and the finish just keeps going. Perfect after dinner with blue cheese, nut tarts or dark chocolate. It stays fresh for months once open
