Madeira Pilgrimage; 2/1/2016-2/4/2016 (Madeira): Nose of orange marmalade, brown sugar, Sweet and rich but stays bright and salty. Complexity is quite nice, and there’s a shot of salty, nutty complexity that keeps the wine elegant despite the richness.

Clear and bright, medium brown colour and prescence of dense legs. The nose is clean and fully developed, showing medium+ intensity aromas of coffee, chocolate, caramel, toffee, molashes, cinnamon and prunes. The wine is sweet but not cloying, with a high refreshing acidity, high alcohol, medium+ body and medium+ intensity flavours of coffe, toffee, caramel, cinnamon and prunes. Long finish.
It is a very good quality wine with a nice balance between sweetness and acidity, a lingering finish and a good complexity provided by canteiro maturation, however the flavour intensity could be more pronounced. Drink now, not suitable for ageing, the wine is already fully developed and will not improve in the bottle. However it can be kept for many years.

Was good. Had with carrot cake. Reminds me of a lighter more friendly PX sherry. Tons or raisins and sticky toffee going on. I like it.
