Vinhos Barbeito The Rare Wine Co. Historic Series Boston Madeira Special Reserve Bual NV

Delectable Wine

Follow to learn about our favorite wines & people.

The Madeira Boston Bual Special Reserve is one of the richest and most potent of the Madeiras in the Rare Wine Co.’s Historic Series. A dark, brooding Madeira, the Boston Bual is packed with dark macerated cherry, mocha, spice, worn-in leather, tobacco and dried herbs. It’s a beautiful Madeira to drink at the end of a meal with cheese or bittersweet chocolate, which seems like the most obvious choice. This is an especially large-scaled, dramatic Madeira. L22203.

Sherry, in a it's glorious forms, is the hipster wine of the moment, but Madeira deserves its place.

Finally tried it. Fantastic! Slowly getting into the world of Madiera. Quite dangerous for the wallet.

Dates,caramel, mushroom nose. Some orange peel. Palate is light and somewhat oily with mushroom, green fig and caramel.

Howard Yang

Amber in color, notes of walnut, vanilla, caramel, pine nuts, medium body with taste of English toffee, brown sugar, aged balsamic vinegar, smooth and with a long finish, satisfying, time to lit a cigar.
