Henriques & Henriques - Verdelho Solera Madeira NV Rogue Valley graphite notes and freshness typicalMedium dark brown. Intense, lifted nose, cocoa nib, very fine oolong tea, volcanic rock, dark cherry, cascara. Smells quite dry. Super dark attack, hot clay, more cocoa nibs, chinotto. Intensely, intensely mineral.
