February 2, 2024 - Very woody. Sleek and silky with a simplistic palate. A casual Madeira.

October 9, 2017 - MNB: Fortified Wines: (blind)
Pale tawny color.
Not very aromatic - some VA, slight oxidation - faint nuttiness.
15 g/L RS, 17% (actually 19%) alcohol, high acid, medium minus tannins. Some oxidation. Some almond skins on the finish - very confused as to what this could be.
Laterals:
- Madeira - too youthful, not madeirized enough.
- Sherry - would be a sweet style - too high alcohol for fino. Cream sherry? Not a dessert sherry.
- Port - white port? - too oxidative.
- VDN with extensive aging?
Final conclusion: Sherry?
Very poor example - not developed enough.1 person found this helpful Comment
