AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
I offer two excellent Madeiras (2*0.75 L), in very good visual condition, stored only in a wine refrigerator, the color of the wine - “The 1976 Terrantez is deep auburn in color".
Description from the Wine Producer:
This wine should be stored upright in a dark room with constant temperature, ideally no higher than 16ºC. As the wine is completely stabilized, it is recommended to pull the cork at least 1 day before enjoying this wine. Decanting will help remove any deposit that may have occurred in bottle over time. A wine that should be enjoyed in the good company of friends, served not higher than 17ºC.
It has been bottled ready for drinking and will keep for several months after opening.
Blandy’s Terrantez 1976 was aged for 21 years in seasoned American oak casks. A relatively young wine considering that the majority of the family’s vintages have more than 30 years in cask, though the decision was made to bottle this wine shortly after the 20 year minimum legal period as it was felt that the wine had achieved the perfect balance of acidity and concentration.
