  Fruit of dark raisins and plum. Smoke, burned sugar, liquorish and intense nutty flavors. Nice acidity. Good balance, but mediocre aromatic intensity on the palate.

  Coffee, black chocolate, Williams and Rum, sweet notes of Champagne truffes, burned sugar and brown sugar. Some heat on the palate which was not a surprise (16% alc.), but in good balance with a long and intense finish. This was highly enjoyable and an amazing alternative to Ports.

  Indestructible. Notes of roasted apples with mace, cognac barrel, fruit cake, bitter orange oil, floor polish. Mellow and rich. Clears the sinuses! Decent finish.

  Some nights are made for luxuriating with old friends. There are few friends so delightful as a flight of Madeiras, opening with this 15yo Verdelho. It has an elegant nose of varnish, walnuts, dried peaches and apricot jam, with all this and some olive notes on the palate. Linear acidity keeps it fresh and well-balanced. The finish makes you lie back in contemplation. More people should pick up great Madeira like this.
