J. C. A. & C. Reserva Superior Madeira 1740
Ex Christie's March 2017. New wax capsule. Faded stencilling. Level: 4cm
Tasting note: In January 2017. Medium rich nose of caramel, uplifting citrus aromas and cream. Fresh apricot, mango, and banana. An attractive nose full tropical enjoyment over some mineral flavors. Good depth and complexity.
Direct well concentrated aromas of wax, old wood and dried apricots. Slightly sweet over high acidity. On the finish quite strong gripping acidity of the well-aged type ending with pure dried citrus fruits. Interesting wine of character and length. Very good.
Half a year later a similar note. High toned nose with exotic fruits like mango and apricot, quite sweet with a touch of nail remover. This vanished slowly with some air. Deep and well cask aged.
Intense medium sweet taste, creamy exotic fruit aromas. Full of strength and liveliness. Contracted flavors. A strong wine of exotic character. Very good. Consistent 95p. Edwin Vos
