A wine of feminine graciousness. More recently, with short cork and labelled 'da Silva': rather unimpressive colour; unknit and spicy, orange blossom and candlewax bouquet; sweet, fullish, lean, intense, citrus-like acidity. LAst noted at the Noval tasting, November 1989. At best *****. MB, Vintage Wine 2 bottles per lot
