John Leacocks
Leacock's 'Tinta Negra' 1995, Madeira, Portugal - 1.5l
The best wine is more than just a drink; it's an experience. That certainly applies to this Leacocks Madeira wine, which is aged to perfection before being bottled in 2016, now finally available for purchase and housed in a stylish gift box. If 1995 was a vintage year in the life of somebody special, this makes the optimum memorial of this period. The scent is one of orange peel with a hint of smoked hickory. The taste itself is bold and surprisingly complex, contrasting the overriding sweetness with a hint of bitterness and astringency coupled with a pleasing nuttiness. With a warm and spicy finish and aftertaste, this is an ideal wine for drinking immediately or storing for further maturation.

Tinta Negra Doce
WHAT IT GOES WITH
A rich and sweet wine, this is best enjoyed as a dessert or post-dinner, though it can also be sipped independently by anybody with a sweet tooth. There is an element of versatility to Madeira wine, however. This vintage can also accompany seafood and smoked red meats.
VINEYARD
John Leacock was an apprentice to a reputable 18th century Madeira producer, but harboured ambitions of his own. Partnering up with John Patient, a schoolfriend and fellow connoisseur, Leacocks Madeira was formed in the city of Charlestown, South Carolina, in 1760. The business remained in the Leacock family right until 1925, when the company was united with Miles and Cossart Gordon Madeiras under the banner of the Madeira Wine Company. Thankfully, the unmistakable quality and production techniques of this celebrated wine merchant remain exemplary.

A wooden box can make your magnum look even more special, especially if you want to personalise it for a gift. We can engrave up to 50 characters, in one of five different fonts, to the front of the wooden box.
We always intend to despatch any orders on the same day, on a next day delivery service, assuming checkout is completed before 1pm as this gives us enough time to prepare the package.
You can also track your order throughout the process, ensuring that you’re home to accept it or make alternative arrangements with DPD.
If ordering as a gift, please provide the recipient’s address and a contact telephone number so they are notified a delivery is coming. While the arrival of a magnum will surely be a welcome surprise, we want to ensure somebody is available to sign for the package. We’ll keep you updated about the delivery progress, and supply a purchase invoice that doubles as a receipt for your financial records to your email address. We never include an invoice with the package in case it is a gift.
We rarely need to process returns, but in the improbable event that we need to do so, we will offer a full refund on any product returned in its original packaging and in a re-sellable condition. Unfortunately we cannot refund shipping costs.
