1964 Justino's Boal Madeira

The incredible 1964 Madeira Boal Frasqueira was produced with grapes from vines that don't exist anymore in the south of the island. It matured for 45 years in a single 650-liter oak cask and later in a glass demijohn until bottling. It has extreme parameters, a pH of 3.28, 10.23 grams of acidity (and 1.52 grams of volatile acidity) and 88 grams of sugar, while the alcohol stayed at 19.5%. This is the darkest wine, the more aromatic one and with a more concentrated palate. This is a mythical wine at Justino's and rightly so, because the wine is superb. It's textbook Boal, with notes of caramelized orange peel and banana liqueur, spices and herbs with a pungent palate, complexity and depth, really harmonious. 861 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2016. This was the last bottling of this wine, the sixth; all the remaining wine was bottled.
