Tasting Notes

With 126g of residual sugar, this Madeira delivers rich scents of brown sugar, espresso, melted candle wax, quince, walnut and marmalade. The palate is well-balanced with flavours of ristretto, almonds, dried and candied fruit, lifted by a touch of salinity, with very crisp acidity that cuts through this Madeira with ease. The finish is long, smooth and clean.
