Shipped by sailing boat from Pico to Shoreham in the UK. Verdelho, Terrantez, Arinto dos Azores, all 60+ years old.
Rich, creamy aroma of long lees ageing. Spiced fresh, ripe pears. Deep in pear fruit and deep also in that lees texture. Long, chewy and mouth-filling even with moderate alcohol. 17 points
