Bual, Pereira D Oliveira 1983

The 1983 Boal has a straightforward nougat and toffee apple-scented bouquet infused with wood resin aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with toffee, spice and tangy marmalade on the entry. It is a conservative, mild-mannered Boal with a well-crafted, crisp finish that is satisfying, if not memorable. I recall superior bottles of this several years ago, and I suspect there are better examples out there.
