JBF, Verdelho 1900
Bottled from demi john in 2016 by FMA and GD. New wax capsules. Stencilled recent bottles. Levels into neck
From vineyards near the city of Funchal, next to the old family house. Unfortunately these vineyards now don’t exist anymore.
Tasting note: Deep orange color. Rich complex nose. Fresh citrus and mandarin aroma, fine old wood furniture tones, refined needing air to open up to fuller and greatness. Developing a fine Napoleon Cognac nose, sweet rich tough not as alcohol as a Cognac. Gorgeous nose. After some months the same bottle now giving more rich fudge and fine floral aromas. Very refined. Lovely flavour, full intense and well balanced, like a well matured fine Petite Champagne Cognac. In December 2015. Medium sweet, intense start of taste, dried oranges, richer as you would expect a Verdelho. The acidity was well integrated. A great fine styled soft sweet styled Verdelho. At the NY pre-sale dinner this showed marvelous, beautiful well balanced, great wine. EV.
