Deep, rich and exotic-tasting, with plenty of smoky accents to the dried mango, apricot and roasted pineapple flavors, featuring notes of crème brûlée. Very fresh midpalate, presenting an unctuous finish of ginger and cream.

Very much in the rich, unctuous Blandy's style. Fragrant nose of salted caramel, treacle and dried figs. Sweet and mouth-coating, with enough acidity to keep it lifted. Not bad for such a young Madeira and at under $50, probably a repeat purchase.

A beautiful high toned stone fruit nose and tons of spice on the nose. A buttery mouth feels and a delightful piquancy on the mid palate. The finish is long and brilliant. Best I've ever had.

Madeira Pilgrimage; 2/1/2016-2/4/2016 (Madeira): Smells of sweet almond cake, figs, honey and apricot jam. Sweet and smooth on the palate. Glazed pear, pear jam, honey, sweet flowers, sea salt, caramel and sweet spice combine in a complex and delicious wine. Very nice, and showing well, although decades to go, of course.

Orange and smoke on the nose, and a fairly light and airy taste yet highly intense. Wonderful.
