I really loved the 1933 Malmsey from Justino’s when I had a chance to taste it during my visit to the lodge in February. Here is a wine of stunning balance, with the concentration of long cask aging, the sweetness of Malmsey and the tangy acids of great Madeira all seamlessly interwoven. The stunning nose wafts from the glass in a blend of brown sugar, desiccated cherries, walnuts, orange peel, clove-like spice tones, molasses and a lovely touch of soil. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and perfectly balanced, with a superb core of fruit, bright acids and stunning length and grip on the focused and very refined finish. A beautiful wine. 2014-2100.
