Description

Leacocks was established in 1760 and is one of the oldest and best known brands of Madeira wine.
"True Sercial has a nutty nose and with age becomes mellow and dark,the mellowness rather covering the dryness".

Noel Cossart. (Madeira.The Island Vineyard).


When young,Sercial is mouth puckering,with astringent acidity,but these bottles have some serious age and the wine should have mellowed considerably.
Typical Sercial should be nutty and spicy,with flavours of dried figs,roasted almonds and a hint of caramel.The wine should also be enveloped with a certain woodiness,because of the time spent maturing in old wooden casks.
As these bottles are at least thirty years old,they should be throwing a crust.The traditional way of eliminating this is by decanting the wine through a piece of muslin cloth!
