Community Tasting Note

Thursday, February 2, 2017 - #alternativepairings (Chicago, IL): From half bottle. This is like a Madeira without all the nice things that make Madeira Madeira. It's got a little bit of that shiitake mushroom quality on the nose from the oxygen, but it feels more like oxidation that was done accidentally than on purpose. The palate shows moderate sweetness, with some golden raisin and date flavours, and the alcohol pokes out quite a bit. The necessary acidity to balance out the wine isn't quite here either, unfortunately.
