  Medium clear amber
  Nutty aromas
  Sweet, but not syrupy, great acid and bitter roasted chestnut flavors.
  This really is a great QPR. Perfect for relaxed sipping or cooking.

  I normally prefer Port, but this Madeira is very good. Drank over several weeks, without significant variation. Caramel, orange, brown sugar, med+ acidity and finish. Very good, 89-90.

  Sweet toned nose has burnt sugar, candied banana, toasted pecan nuts, whiff of orange peel and a touch of vanilla. Burnt sugar ant pecans replicated in the taste, along with figs, raisins and dried apricots. Some saline notes, dried grapefruit peel and slight touch of salinity. Full body, high acid, medium sweet, good length. VG++

  I’m not a big Madeira drinker, I prefer port and sauternes for dessert wines, but I really enjoyed this. Caramel, raisin, and hazelnut on the nose and a bright palate of peach and orange. The sweetness and acidity are nicely balanced, and the finish is pleasantly long. A great bargain.

  Good notes here. QPR is just fine for an entry level Madeira.
