Tasting Notes
This is a beautifully balanced Madeira, with 90g of residual sugar, with a harmony of power, intensity and energy. Displaying aromas of walnut, oriental spice and old furniture, this full-bodied wine has incredible complexity in the mouth, adding layers of citrus, coffee bean, roasted hazelnut and honey, as well as lovely acidity that works superbly with the delicious medium-sweet palate, leading to a long and elegant finish.
