95 points Wine Spectator: "Delivers toasted sesame seed, date, sandalwood, musk and baked mirabelle plum notes, which come together to create a lush, detailed offering. The finish is laced with a hazelnut husk streak, which provides a lengthy spine. Drink now. 17 cases imported. (10/26/22)"
Blandy’s Terrantez 1978 was aged in seasoned American oak casks in the traditional ‘Canteiro’ system, whereby the wine is gently heated by warm air in the lofts of the family’s south-facing lodge in Funchal. The wine moved to the warmest top floor of the Blandy’s Wine Lodge, the “Sotão de Amendoa”, where it remained for 1 year. It then passed down to the middle floor and eventually to the ground floor, where it remained until being bottled. The art of finding the right balance between concentration and the freshness of the wine lies in the winemaker’s decision when to transfer the wine to the lower, cooler north-facing floors of the lodge.
