JBF (Jose B. Fernandez), Verdelho 1900
Bottled from demi-john in 2015 by Francisco Albuquerque. Stencilled bottles. Levels base of neck
From vineyards near the city of Funchal, next to the old family house. Unfortunately these vineyards now don’t exist anymore. A few demijohns were discovered by Francisco Albuquerque when the house was sold. The quality of these wines is amazing which makes it all the more sad that the vineyards have been replaced by houses.
Tasting note: Deep orange colour. Rich complex nose. Fresh citrus and mandarin aroma, fine old wood furniture tones, refined needing air to open up to fuller and greatness. Developing a fine Napoléan Cognac nose, sweet and rich though not as alcoholic as a Cognac. Gorgeous nose.
After some months the same bottle now giving more rich fudge and fine floral aromas. Very refined. Medium sweet, intense start of taste, dried oranges, richer as you would expect a Verdelho. The acidity is well integrated. Lovely flavor, full intense and well balanced, like a well matured fine Petite Champagne Cognac. A great fine soft sweet styled Verdelho. Very good, I love this Madeira. Last tasted December 2015 at a dinner in New York where this wine showed beautifully and well balanced. It left everybody at the table silent. Great wine. EV.
