Product details
Henriques & Henriques Bastardo 1927 is a remarkable historic bottling from Henriques & Henriques, the distinguished Madeira house founded in 1850. Made from Bastardo, also known as Trousseau in France, this rare vintage showcases the distinctive character of an early-ripening grape variety known for achieving high natural sugar levels. Through decades of oxidative maturation, the original fruit character develops into remarkable aromatic complexity and depth. Reflecting the heritage and expertise of the Henriques family, this exceptional 1927 bottling represents a fascinating piece of Madeira's historic production tradition and the enduring value of carefully preserved vintage selections.
The aromatic profile reveals an intricate combination of prunes, coffee, caramel, toasted walnuts, hazelnuts, and propolis, with tobacco adding another layer of complexity. On the palate, it is rich, unctuous, and remarkably persistent, with the extended maturation contributing to its concentrated character and lingering finish.
