On the palate the wine is sweet, with high acidity, high alcohol and a full body. The intensity of flavours is pronounced, flavours include dried fruit (dried apricot), walnut, toffee, caramel, coffee and chocolate. The alcohol is integrated well, the texture is creamy, the finish has medium(+) length.
This is an outstanding quality wine since it has good balance of sweetness and acidity, great intensity on the palate, great concentration and well-integrated alcohol.
The wine has been matured in oxidative conditions. Thanks to this maturation and to its high acidity and high alcohol it will keep on this level for many years, but it will not improve, and is hence to be considered not suitable for further ageing in bottle.

On the palate the wine is sweet, with high acidity, high alcohol, and a full body. The flavour intensity is pronounced, the flavours are tertiary and very concentrated, and include fig, walnut, caramel, and coffee. The finish has medium(+) length.
This wine is of very good quality since it has high concentration, good balance of acidity and sweetness, and medium(+) length. To be considered being of outstanding quality it would require more complexity and even greater length. The wine will keep for many years, but will not improve, and in that sense is not suitable for further aging in bottle.
NB: Others in our group rated the wine a little lower.

On the nose some rancio notes, orange peel, dried fruit. Medium bodied, smooth and sweet (not overly), delivering rather subtle and balanced flavors of dried fruit, orange peel, minerals and a tad rancio balanced by firm acidic structure. All in all a solid sweet madeira.

Golden color and aromas of caramel and chocolate. Enjoyable to sip after dinner,with its smooth caramel quality, balancing acidity and a touch of tangerine peel, cocoa and a long fresh finish.

Initially this was just caramel and coffee, but after a few hours in the decanter it started to open up to notes of salty wood spice and orange peel. Sweet but lively palate with tangy acidity, juicy and lively, good resonance and length. Very nice.

Its like a posh Sherry. Full of flavor that you would reconnoiters a Madeira. Colour: amber to golden. Taste: harmonious bouquet: Fresh figs, vanilla, caramel, dried fruits like prunes and some cinnamon. Worth keeping some in stock for drinking and cooking with [god for bid].

Vino dulce de color caoba y nariz expresiva, de carácter oxidativo, con abundantes notas de frutos secos (algo de pasas y sobre todo nueces), toques de caramelo, algo de especias exóticas y un fondo avainillado. En boca tiene buen ataque, el paso es denso, con volumen, bien de acidez, dulzor bastante equilibrado, largo y bien definido.

Recent bottling. Classic Malmsey nose, good definition and depth, fruit, nuts and Scotch; there is a good tangy, acidic kick on the palate and intensity and length are absolutely fine, but mid-palate the wine is just too sweet, soft and sticky. It reminds me of an Oloroso that has ODed on the PX - the sugar coating takes away the precision and definition. But a solid 10 YO none the less. Good value too.

No bottling date given but clearly bottled very recently, probably 2013 or 2012 at the earliest. 19% ABV. Intense amber colour, not unlike a 30 year old tawny; the nose is relatively restrained and slightly woody (not unlike a good Scotch), but opens up well after a few days and displays aromas of toasted nuts, candied fruit and molasses, fresh and with good depth; on the palate medium sweet, intense, compact and clean, with lovely acidity, well-balanced, savoury, coffee flavour, hint of fudge; excellent length, hint of heat. A good 10 YO, fine QPR at € 18 and a far cry from the old fashioned, cooked and caramelly style of yore.
