D'Oliveiras, Sercial Brut Zero Disgorged December 2019

Disgorged December 2019

Vibrant and sharply focused on the nose

but a finely chiseled

Floral pastille flavors flesh out steadily on the back half

this is a lush and generous

D'Oliveiras, Sercial Brut Zero Disgorged December 2019Mid 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)
