1968 D’Oliveira Madeira Bual

Brown color. On the nose, developed, medium+ intensity, very pretty bouquet, nuts, flowers, toffee, coffee, nutmeg, lots of earth, and some oak. On the palate, dry, medium+intensity, medium+ alcohol, beautifully woven flavors, earthy textures, smoke, medium+ acidity, very nice long finish, just full of spice. Awesome fortified wine.    

Broadbent 10 year Madeira Malmsey

Brown color. On the nose, developed, medium+ intensity, peach, apricot, creme brûlée, nuts, earth, brown sugar, maple syrup, smoke, and some oak. Very interesting wine with nice complexity, and a solid spicy finish. This was delicious and should be in everyone’s cabinet.
