Fascinating nose of quince paste with notes of sealing wax and antique mahogany furniture from the long aging make this elegant and mature Sercial unique. And just when you think that you’ve had all that is has to give, then comes a wave of richness and vital acidity that makes it take off at the extremely long and complex finish. Drink or hold.

The 1969 Sercial Reserva unwinds to reveal aromas of pecans, salted caramel, figs and honey cake, followed by a medium to full-bodied, elegantly integrated palate that's quite fine-boned, displaying fine depth at the core, tangy acids and an attractive, bittersweet finish.
