  Madeira Seminar and Guided Tasting (Cream Wine Company - Chicago IL): Tasting, brief note. Sweet apricot, honeycomb. Opulent start, slightly leaner ending with clean and long finish. Very balanced and enjoyable already now.

  Madeira in Madeira; 3/15/2017-3/20/2017: Tasted at D'Oliveiras, Funchal. Bottled in 2017. Strong dark caramel scent with a powerful acidic (almost vinegar-like) edge. Big fat, pure, monolithic Malvazia, cradle-robbed from the barrel at the tender age of 28. Later bottlings will surely offer more complexity. 90-91P

  Intense, powerful aromas with toffee and golden syrup cake. Really rich and vibrant, full of raisins and caramel with a little candied fruit character underneath the rancio character. Great acidity makes it feel fresh despite the richness. Very, very long and intense through the palate, develops a dark chocolate and molasses note with time in the glass. A dense long finish with a little zesty orange peel lingering at the back of the palate. Superb.

  Strong fig, wood. Sweet and sour flavor. Finishes off-dry. Complex and drinkable.
