Score 17.5/20 · Drink 2040, Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, Oct 2011
Malvasia grapes grown at the famous Faja dos Padres vineyard at Cabo Girão. Especially fine vintage. Greenish walnut skin. Lean and nutty on the nose with a slight spirit overlay. Alcohol present on the palate too but fabulously tangy and intense on the finish. Bitterly fresh aftertaste cuts through all that sugar. (JH)
