Bought at an estate sale & guessing from the 70’s, but if any Madeira enthusiasts out there know a trick to figure the year, I’m all ears(the foil capsule is wrapped with a printed number ending in 72, which one Bourbon fan suggested is the year). Fresh as a daisy: date, dried fig & prune, roasted tamari almonds. In sweet style but the acidity is there, keeping a nice snap between the flavors & a moderately unctuous texture. A simple Madeira to begin with, but nothing like simple pleasures. Had at sunset w friends, munching on cocoa dusted & roasted cinnamon almonds, & Parmesan. — 3 years ago

Now this is more like it. Powerful malmsey with a grip and complexity that recall the finest madeiras we’ve tasted. Rim gradation with a hint of green around the edge. Burnt sugar, citrus rind, caramel. The wine blossoms on the palate, oxidative notes show themselves before the rapier of acid drives home the finish, like a toreador’s sword. Fabulous. — 6 years ago
