(70% Arinto, 13% Tamarez, 7% Alicante Branco, 5% Antão Vaz, 5% Verdelho (but not the same as the Madeira grape); 10% aged in new oak, the rest in used oak, with one year in the oak.)
Floral aromas like plumeria or maybe gardenia, along with petrol and honeydew melon. Swirling gives light honeycomb as well. This has similar body to the 2019 Trincadeira Das Pratas, but different flavors, and an apparent but integrated alchohol. Later there was lime aroma, as well as key lime pie aroma and flavor. 90 points.
