Bottled in 2015, coming with 87 g. of residual sugar. It is all about power, elegance balance:  An iron fist in a velvet glove.

Roy Hersh (2007) 98 points: "Extremely dark chocolate color with a yellowish-amber rim, slightly cloudy and by far the darkest of the flight. A mélange of smoky notes, molasses, brown sugar, clove and figs rounds out the scents in this scintillating D'Oliveiras. Although I absolutely loved the finesse and decadence of the 1903 Bual that came before it, this was more opulent and viscous and appealed to my occasional craving for pure unctuous and sweet Madeira. The 1908 had a crazy, complex mid-palate that was like a kaleidoscope of ever changing flavors with stunning purity. Powerful and with great delineation and a solid spine of acidity, it is hard not to love the vanilla extract imbued bread pudding with a crust akin to crème brulee, which served to win me over. The seductive and harmonious mouth coating aftertaste of golden raisins and figs can be summed up in one word, wow! I wish my friend Eric LeVine had been here, so I could have heard him exclaim, "oh my god" as he tends to do with hedonistic wines of this ilk."

Neal Martin (Robert parker, 2010): 94 points: "Bottled in 2008, this actually reminds me of a mature Barsac on the nose. Well defined with dried apricot, red cherry, a touch of walnut and nutmeg. Very refined. The palate is medium-bodied, slightly viscous on the entry with dried honey, apricot, marmalade and Seville orange. Not the weight of some of the coeval Madeira, but amazing persistency and elegance. Lovely."
