A 1998 Colheita: caramel, nuts and a sweet, balanced palate.
Tasting note
Aromas of dates and figs. Sweeter and softer than Justino’s 1995.
The story
Madeira spends years ageing in an oxidative environment and moves into a reductive one at bottling. It is therefore best to open the bottle a few hours in advance. After that, air no longer affects the wine: an open bottle keeps almost indefinitely and often tastes even better months later. Always store Madeira upright, as the acidity attacks the cork if the bottle lies down.
Food pairing
Lovely with cheese and with ice cream, caramel and coffee desserts.
