D'Oliveiras, Sercial Vintage:1999 and not excessiveMid amber brown all three Sercial and Terrantez dOliveiras wines are notably deeper colour than four other Madeiras tasted at the same time. A slightly reticent nose, with cola nuts, chocolate, Christmas spices, cooked orange and a touch of polished wood. Noticeable sweetness on the palate entry, giving way to lively acidity and a touch of phenolic chew. Long, toasty, nutty finish. Makes up in length what it perhaps gives away in finesse. (TJ)
