Casa Mandel Boullosa Carcavelos Vinho Licoroso 1991

Wild aromas of dried watermelon, cherries, flowers, salt, lightly dried mushrooms and toffee. Medium- to full-bodied and off-dry. Beautiful finish, yet not very sweet. Salted caramel and toffee. Tangy and vivid. Turns nutty. A unique fortified wine from new Lisbon and virtually not made anymore. This was a one-off bottling from the owner of Howard’s Folly, Howard Bilton. Only 5,000 bottles. Drink or hold. Score – 96. (jamessuckling.com, Nov. 4, 2021)
