50 Year Old Terrantez

Post by Roy Hersh »

The Justino's 50 Year Old Terrantez is fantastic. Maybe not for those that prefer the higher RS versions of Terrantez, as the Justino's version is definitely not going to be appealing for that audience. I am wondering why all of the other companies are not a 50 year Old Terrantez blend. I know that Broadbent and Justino's do a very nice job. But D'Oliveiras, Henriquest & Henriques and Blandy's or their other MWC brands could all certainly launch these, given the old stocks they carry in demijohns, (leftovers!).

Is this something that others here would like to see. I still have two full tours to Madeira this year and it is something I may advocate for if people think it is something that there would be some interest in? :scholar:

I would certainly be interested. That Justino's 50yo Terrantez is quite special. I recall the only reason I didn't buy a bottle or three was the price was relatively high (400€ ?), compared to their other excellent offerings. A few years back Blandy's did a 50yo Malmsey blend that was excellent for 140€.
