Pereira D’Oliveiras Tinta Negra Frasqueira 1997

Tinta Negra | Madeira, Portugal

Tinta Negra perfectly pitched. It smells like a wander through the island – the briary wild bushes, the cool and damp soil, the faded ripe citrus and old orchard leaves all steeped together as a living, breathing sense-picture. As ever with good Madeira, it’s a wine to hold very still so the scent memories can wander out and say what they will. There’s a touch of fruit flesh roundness, and the red-floral aspect tells of the black grape underlying, but these soon yield to Madeiran tangents,

Quinta do Noval Vintage Port 2003

Port | Portugal, Douro

As always this 100% single-quinta wine is drawn from Noval’s own vines. There are three core parcels, all near the winery—the terraces directly surrounding the winery in Pinhão, the vines in the Roncão Valley and a parcel overlooking the Douro River.  Each year, the blending proportions for the Vintage Port will vary depending on the vagaries of the vineyard. "The Quinta do Noval Vintage 2003 has a gorgeous raisin, fig and clove-scented bouquet with more freshness than the whole of

Pereira D’Oliveiras Sercial Frasqueira 1989

Sercial | Portugal, Madeira

More time in wood equals more complex wood-balsalm volatile, secondary beauty. The fruit characters are raisined, preserved and citric all at once, wandering through a sky-wide nose of fine aromatic timber, grilled bread and nuts. Sercial’s vegetality is largely subsumed by fine old wood perfume. Complex as all get-out, with great harmony and composure. Dry and saline in the mouth, but with textural generosity through the palate, marked by complex herbal-woodiness and spiced juicy acidity.

Pereira D’Oliveiras Terrantez Frasqueira 1988

Terrantez | Portugal, Madeira

The rare Terrantez variety can be bottled as medium dry or medium sweet. This medium dry version is a remarkably complex, fascinating wine. Bitter medicinal herb aromatics with bracken, spiced wood, salted caramels, faded jar preserves, old straw and a touch of the maritime. The palate is sweet at first, with inseparable elements suggesting honey, brick, earth and wood. There’s an incredibly layered juicy acidity, which carries sweetness akin to a memory of the skins of fruit that has given it

Medium Sweet - 80-100g/l
Rich, raisined fruits, figgy with touches of maraschino and fat walnuts in a jam-packed, luscious nose. It’s grapey and succulent, but there’s lift and freshness, too – the smell of first rain after a long dry spell, with fine old balsamic timber complexity. Wonderful toasty-carob and grapey-raisin. The twin-tracked sweetness is beautifully rounded through two-thirds of the palate, then planes out and becomes lighter, drier and more lingering. Nuts and dates slide along a praline slick to

Pereira D’Oliveiras Verdlho Frasqueira 1986

Verdlho | Portugal, Madeira

Really decadent, voluptuous nose, heaps of deep dried fruit concentration, golden treacly richness with a vegetal lining, marmalade and billy tea for complexity and relief from density. Typical Verdelho plush citric mouth-feel, and typical buzzing acid relief. Delicately round with toffee sweetness cut by zippy fruit-skin tartness and electro-tingle acidity.

The most revered and collectable Port in the world! “It has a magnificent, exquisitely defined bouquet with a purity that bowls you over, perhaps even more intense than the 2019 Nacional tasted alongside. The palate is extraordinarily pure and intense, slightly vicious in texture, with layers of cassis, black cherries, blood orange and a dab of spice. Seamless on the finish. This is a worth follow up to the stellar 2019 Nacional. The two will fight between themselves for supremacy.” Neal M

A blockbuster wine, commanding respect rather than love, of which a few sips suffice. Alex Liddell, Madeira: The Mid-Atlantic Wine Deeply woody and bricky, opens to tea, fine adobe, honey, pippy sweetness, with lantana herbals and chocolate. The treacly richness exists within an amazing aromatic liveliness, thanks in part to a rainwater-juicy freshening lift. Very deep in the mouth, the palate interplays marmalade and molasses, with lots of complex volatile development character and wood-

Bastardo is extremely rare: in 2015, just 55 litres of this black grape were harvested in Madeira! In the early 2000s, D’Oliveira had the good fortune to absorb a smaller house, Adegas do Torreão, whose legendary owner, Vasco Loja, had recently passed away. At the time of his death, his firm owned little bottled Madeira, but he did have some incredible wine still in barrel. By buying Loja’s stocks, D’Oliveira made several important additions to its portfolio, including a classic 1969 S
The most revered and collectable Port in the world! “There’s such a purity of fruit here of sliced ripe cherries and crushed blackberries with blueberries, as well as fresh flowers. Medium- to full-bodied with ultra fine tannins that run the length of the wine. Really polished and silky. Medium sweet with pretty grip and presence. Reminds me of the perfect 2011 but with a little less concentration. Drink after 2030.”  James Suckling, 97 Points “From a legendary plot of ungraf
