Madeira @ Equinox (Washington DC): Lively, pungent, and mouth-puckering (in a good way). Nose seems a bit subdued. Dominated by citrus and the slightest hint of brown autumnal spices. Falls off slightly in the middle, but a whiplash of flavors return on the finish. Edgey lemon/lime citrus squirt acidity. Ethereal, elegant and bright. I like this quite a bit. A much better showing comapred to the dozen years that have past since the last time I've had this. Originally purchased by Steve on 10/2004 for $155 (current price $254).

Minty wood-aged nose. Concentrated anise and toffee on the palate but with a tangy, vibrant acidic streak and uplifting VA to keep things fresh. Really nice wine.

Chocolate and nut aromas. Sweet, with rather low acidity. Still intense and concentrated, though.
