  1/15/2024 - NateR Likes this wine: 90 Points

  Toasted salty Brazil nuts on the nose, along with a moderate rancio note. That all comes through on the palate as well, along with a subtle but distinct smoky burnt char note. Some sugary sweetness arises in the midpalate then lingers in the finish. From a bottle that had been open ~1 month.

  12/22/2020 - trumpet60201 Does not like this wine:

  I found this to be a bit syrupy with a funky flavor at the end. Not my favorite.

  12/11/21: a quick taste... nutty and salty on the nose, figs, honey, oranges, flowers and spice, almost dry on the palate, just a little sweet, a little chocolate and espresso bean, lots of dried fruit and citrus, long and piercing, with intertwined nutty and citrus reverberations, lovely Madeira
  
  3/10/22: another quick taste... still quite salty and nutty on the nose: fig, prune, orange marmalade, and dried apricot are countered by nut pastes, fudge, salt marsh, tamari glaze and dried flowers. Incredible interplay of elements on the palate, there's strong acid, thick glycerin, intense inner perfume, and delightful heat. Fortified wine can be lovely.
  
  4/3/22: if you dunno how a wine can be nutty, try this, but also pay attention to the citrus, wood, salt and spice, this is VERDELHO MADEIRA, long finish of fudge nuts citrus... yowza!
  
  9/26/22: diverse cooked citrus, membrillo, damp wood, nuts toasted and raw, lots of spice, a little coffee and chocolate, tangy and dry on the palate... citrus, salt, nuts, earth on the finish
