Roy Hersh's Majestic Madeira Extravaganza (Seattle, WA): Yet another savory nose, some balsamic, chocolate, cooked onion (a note that I find a lot in Madeira but had not yet noted to this point in the first 11 examples). This was actually one most complex and interesting notes of the night. The palate is beautifully round, savory, with simply perfect integration. This wine is ready and totally lovely. Definitely on the richer end of the spectrum of Madeira.

(Blandy's Madeira Terrantez) Very cloudy muddy brown color; raw brown sugar with mushroom and a bite of chlorine and VA on the nose (and Eric's "caramelized onion" fit too); nice, integrated palate of raw sugar, caramel and smoke, with good acidity and richness; long smoky finish 95+ pts. (24% alcohol according to the label)
