Brilliant to see how the both of you got to work together on this magnificent video.. Cheers from Malaysia!

I just into Madeira and I love it. The most unique wine and I can see why the founding fathers drank this. So many unique flavors I would never get in a port.

"Great wine brings those that you love, gets them at the table, and keeps them there just a little bit longer" - Well said, beautiful words.

The oldest I've tasted was the 1959 Lafite. The oldest and best sweet wine I've ever tasted is the 1977 Graham's vintage port. Love KB's channel too.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

😮 those are some special wines!

[@jewelsbarbie]

Wow, what a special experience! I got goosebumps just watching. That was so nice of Konstantin to send that over for you to try. I totally agree with you about really nice wines having an ethereal taste. It’s hard to explain to people who have not experienced it. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video with us. 🍷✨

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Thank you for stopping by. Yes that was super kind of him. It is hard to explain exceptional wines and I did my best to put the point across

[@feelinggrape]

I like Konstantin, bought from him quite a lot in the past. Really nice of him to share and what a great experience for you! Thanks for letting us take part in that!

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Thanks for watching, I looked at some of his selections and they are very good!

[@hottuna2006]

Saw Konstantin's video when he opened that wine. It's amazing you got to try it to. The oldest wines I've had were both opened after 50 years of aging; A Chateau Margaux '61 in 2011 and a Chateau Latour '71 in 2021. Both alive and sublime. I have another 1961 bottle from Chateau Palmer which I don't have the guts to open.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Ohhh old Latour and Margaux!! Incredible stuff. Why are you scared to crack open that Palmer???

[@gustavomgomes]

It’s amazing how you manage to transport the feeling of a tasting that will turn into a memory. Don’t know if I am expressing myself in the right way. But drinking wine is better when shared with others, and this medium can be pretty cold . You manage to bring emotion to this video . Congrats . ❤

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Wowww thanks so much. That’s a huge compliment and I do hope it shows through… You are right, it’s difficult to translate that through this medium since you cannot taste as well.

[@jewelsbarbie]

You said that so beautifully! I got goosebumps while watching this video because of how special of an experience this must have been. It’s a once in a lifetime, really. Matthew made it seem like we were right there with him; just wonderful. ❤

Great video, thank you!! I love the acidity in Madeira wines! They deserve so much more attention. I think the oldest wines I have tasted come from the 40s. Definitely nothing as old as this one. Cheers 🥂

[@Stanvansandt]

What an adventure! Thanks for sharing - visually - I only wish I could taste it! I appreciate the shout outs to other wine KZbinrs. I watch them all but enjoy your posts as much as any of them. I don't know why you aren't getting as many views. I haven't tried any really old wines - I get excited when I find something I can afford that's ten or fifteen years old. By the way, in my exploration of local (Texas) wine, I ran across a Sangiovese that I would not recommend. Just a heads up - I know that's one of your favorite grapes.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Ohhh wow that’s cool! Sangio from Texas. We’ll see about the views as the channel had it’s best months in Sept and Oct 🤞🏼

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Waaaaahh and you had it with friends, that’s the way to go.

[@BigBobDookie]

Right on man. Wine is a great medium to connect with others, share great experiences, and create those moments that we remember for a lifetime. Some of the best people I know, I met through wine in some way. As far as old wines go, I think 1983 was the oldest. It was the Toro Albala PX. Pretty good. I even poured some on ice cream. 😂

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Ohhhhh it was probably awesome by itself and with ice cream!

[@BigBobDookie]

@@drmatthewhorkey Indeed it was.

This is bringing back so many memories and souvenirs 🤩🤩🤩 always been a big fan of this wine type, reminds me of some old port wine I’ve had- it is often the sweet ones and fortified ones that last forever

[@ThundermansThunder]

I have yet to try madeira, and, though it is unlikely that I will ever have the privilege of tasting one that old, this video has made me more enthusiastic about trying it, than ever! It must be such a humbling, yet, proud, somber, yet, exciting experience to try a wine that old! Unlike other physical things that can be handled, wine is such a precious commodity, that is unique, as it can only be experienced once, and then it is forever gone. No wonder you had goosebumps!

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Enjoy your journey with Madeira. It’s truly a special wine

[@itswinethirty]

Definitely worth trying! Especially with a sweet treat!

[@stevenholt4936]

Great video. Thanks to both of you for making this happen. I love Madeira - it is my after dinner wine of choice (almost always with cheese). I love Port too but that is a more occasional treat. I used to attend and organise tastings for many years and an 1878 (? - can't remember the exact year) Madeira Bual is the oldest I have drunk. It was at a tasting in York, 30 odd years ago. Amazingly, the chap sitting next to me hated it and gave me his (tiny) allocation. It was a wonderful experience. My usual tipple is a 5 year old Malmsey with a 15 yo Bual for special occasions. I prefer Bual to Malmsey but it is much harder to find. I holidayed in Madeira many years ago and spent a happy afternoon at Blandy's. It is a lovely island - you must go. Good walking trails as well.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Ohhhh wowzaasss... You are a hardcore Madeira guy. I do want to go... I know Port pretty darn well and go their often but for some reason my in-depth knowledge of Madeira isn't as high as I'd like it. 5 Year old Malmsey is not a bad way to go and I have one sitting right next to me at the moment.

[@drmattwestheimer]

You have done some amazing videos but this was probably my favorite one of all. Keep up the great work. Makes me want to drink more wine!

[@alessandrobotti8981]

I actually have a 1914 madeira and I really think I’ll never ever open it. My grandad bought it cause 1914 was the year before ww1 started in italy and his father was one of the “ragazzi del ‘99” (boys from 1899) and he died in ww1 so it was pretty significant to him. It is incredible to me that I have the opportunity to have such a piece of history.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Wowzzaass that is some drinking experience

[@NickDeWachter]

I think this is the first video ever in which you keep quiet for 10 seconds in a row 😜. Those 10 seconds say a lot about that wine. So happy for you Matthew! I know what I'm drinking this evening 😂. It's not going to be that old, but I'll imagine it is 🤣

1981 Biondi Santi and Sassicaia 2000 amazing stuff. I'm with you that older wines typically disappoint me, like old(er) Burgundy red. But sometimes there are these spectacular examples of how amazing wine can develop (have the tertiary aroma fully blend in with still quite some primary left). Ok now I'm thirsty :)

[@drmatthewhorkey]

HahHhH ohhh nice!! I’ve had the 00 Sassicaia and some 83’ Biondis… I am almost never disappointed with aged sweet wines. Aged dry wines - that’s another story. Glad to hear from someone that shared the same sentiments.

[@valtteri2897]

Just had some 1994 auslese riesling as the dessert at a local michelin star restaurant. Beautifull taste, and the colour was very close to cognac.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Nicccceeee… Sounds awesome. While I do love BA and TBA, I might prefer Auslese for price/quality.

[@RCTricking]

2009 Vintage Champagne! Tasted quite funky and I preferred normal champagne but my partner liked it a lot!

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Totally get it, not everybody likes aged Champagne. Everyone has their own palate

[@alecpoehls9519]

My oldest bottle I have had was a 1996 Paul Anheuser Niederhauser Kabinett from the wine shop I work at. Others were 2003 Georg Albrecht Schneider Niersteiner Hipping Riesling Spatlese, and a 2005 Chateau Daugay that unfortunately did not survive past the first glass.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

The oldest commercial Madeira was the 1715 JCA Terrantez, but there's probably only a couple of bottles left in the world. Every now and again, a bottle of the 1720 Borges Pather will come up for auction. I know the Borges family still has a few.

The oldest bottle of wine that I tried was a 1986 Opus One, though that was in 2018. I let it sit after decanting it for about one hour and it was magical. Now that I’ve written the first part I remembered that in 1990 I tried a 1946 Grahms port. So, 44 years old at that time. I was given the glass by accident when I ordered a glass of Grahms for $5.00. I thought it was amazing and so I ordered a second glass. The second glass was disappointing and I asked why. Then I was told that I was given the 1946 by mistake. Nice mistake!
