The 1928 Sercial Reserva is one of my favorite Madeiras from Pereira d'Oliveira in the first half of the 20th century. The bouquet offers lovely scents of orange pith, honeyed biscuit, hazelnut and linseed oil; pressed flower notes emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a judicious touch of spice on the entry, and almost Aszú-like toward the tangy, peppery finish, which expresses the energy of this Sercial. Excellent. (NM)
