March 3, 2019 - Prunes, raisins, dates, caramel and apricots. Not cloying. Very nice mid palate. In general I am not a huge Madeira fan but I very much enjoyed this.

January 30, 2014 - Unknown if solera or not. Deep caramel sauce notes. Intense, sweet wine. Well focused, particularly up front, though missing some in length. Limey.

October 18, 2008 - Madeira @ Triomphe (New York City): Lots of volatile acidity. Dark in color, but a bit light on the palate. A bit soft and a bit short on the finish. Some malty aspects. Good wine, but it does fall a bit flat, overall.

September 21, 2007 - Kitchen Tasting Group Does Beaver Creek – Day One: Oddly placed between the champagne and the Barolo because the chefs got caught sampling the goods in the kitchen. Everyone decided to join us. I have no experience with madeira but have to say this is really enjoyable. The nose is incredibly intense -- dominated by butterscotch/carmel flavors. In the mouth this is very concentrated and intense. The finish is long and satisfying. Great.
