BLANDY'S VINTAGE BUAL 1972 - MAGNUM (1.5L)
Description
Blandy’s Bual 1972 was aged in seasoned American oak casks and as with all the family’s vintages, this wine started its aging process in the warm high attic floors of the lodge in the center of Funchal. Over the 50 years, the wine passed down from the warmer top floor of the Blandy’s Wine Lodges, the “Sotão de Amendoa”. The art of finding the right balance between concentration and the freshness of the wine lies in the winemaker’s decision when to transfer the wine to the lower cooler north facing floors of the lodge.
Tasting Notes
Coppery amber with golden-greenish nuance, a brilliant crystalline. Aromas of intense sweet spices, vanilla, dried fruits, candied apricots and exotic woods. The palate is a rich, medium sweet, with a balanced concentration. The long smooth finish is filled with flavors of candied fruit macerated in brandy, spices, resinous woods such as cedar.Winemaker Notes
