Tasting Notes

This medium-dry madeira, with 69g of residual sugar, has a seductive bouquet of eucalyptus, lemon verbena, ginger and Ceylon tea leaves, and a subtle medium-bodied palate of dried apricot, iodine, white chocolate and allspice. Acidity is discernibly present and bountiful, leading to a long and precise finish.
