Antonio Madeira 2019 Vinhas Velhas Tinto (Dão) [6/750]
António makes more of this than his other wines, so it might be considered his flagship. But it is still a relatively small production. An old vines field blend (23 varieties, with a lot of Jaen), its nose is both rocky and perfumed, while the palate brims with iron power, which leaves a strikingly long finish. The measure of grittiness seems entirely appropriate to such a serious and confident wine.
