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.

Just finished the second half of the bottle reported on in September. Still singing, and quite enjoyable as a Christmas Eve after dinner drink. MMM...thanks Rico, we couldn't resist.

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.

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.

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