So much like brandy but so good. Light sweetness and a whiskey-like finish. Our first Madeira ... great introduction. — 3 years ago
Amazing treat to taste 139 year old wine, thanks @Noah Raizman — 5 years ago
A hearty sausage and mash led, English dinner with siblings at atmospheric aged wine bar near London bridge included a Magnum of Champagne served in tiny chilled silver tankards and failed attempts to order 1980s Cos d'Estournel (the fine and rate wine list hasn't been updated for years and none of the interesting wines were on the cellar).
Dinner concluded with this modern styled Madeira. Caramel, walnuts and raisins. Very accessible. Very delicious. Not a patch on the more distinguished, older Madeiras but a good entry level option and a fun way to end the evening. — 6 years ago

I love Madeira. I don’t know if it loves me but it is at least on friendly terms with my taste buds. My taste buds like dessert. Even if you think you don’t like sweet wine the acidity on this may turn your head. It is a nuts cutting down molasses mountains carpeted in trees loosing glazed nuts. Malmsey. Definitely my friend. — 3 years ago
Briny, nutty, dried ginger/apricot. Round and creamy on the palate. Bitter nuttiness on the finish. Medium finish. Fresh tangerine and nectarine. Canteiro method. 13 years in American oak. — 5 years ago
Decadent and rich, almost syrupy. Lush with raisin, date, walnut, toffee. Beautifully balanced, soft and luscious. Finish is long, with fruit and honey dominating. — 6 years ago
