Frasqueiras Pereira D’Oliveiras Verdelho Medium Dry Frasqueira 1890 (bottled 2013, 123 yo) Size::6 Bottle Case gently powdery finishWonderful old ceramic, adobe, terracotta smells with fresh herbals and deep soft citric fruit character it really is hard to credit how complete and vital, how un quirky and immediate this old timer is to smell. An amazing nose! The palate, true to its off dry designation, has lavish citric floral sweetness without weight. The acid freshness, with just a couple of layers of secondary volatility and such is really (really, really) remarkable.
