Henriques & Henriques - Sercial 10 Years Old Madeira NV Carignano del Sulcis

Henriques & Henriques - Sercial 10 Years Old Madeira NV Carignano del SulcisEnergetic and appealing, the H&H Sercial 10 Year is the firm, polished style of the house: full, deep and suave, with the balance and concentration for which H&H is known. Well calibrated acidity, mineral, saline and wood elements from the bold savor of dried apricot, lemon zest and spiced almond in route to a long, tapered finish.
