5 Years Old Medium Rich Madeira Bual

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

Madeira Bual 1878

1878 Christopher&Co Bual - why? To celebrate buying a new house and my finishing the last credentialing hurdle I will face for the next ten years with my wife's favorite wine.
And how is it? A tawny, darkened marmalade color with a lovely oxidized nose of burnt orange, hazelnut and dried figs. Noticeable but slight volatile acidity.On the palate it is rich without heaviness with a good streak of acidity that balances out the sugar in the vein of a good Beerenauslese. The finish is clean and strongly evocative of fresh roasted coffee and toffee.

Thanks! Good thing about Madeira is that you can't kill it because it's already dead. Zombie wine.

@KW surprisingly no. Less than many new release Napa Cabs.

Vintage '69 Maury 1985

Wow. Just wow. A near perfect combination of aged tawny port and Bual/Malmsey-style Madeira in this wine, albeit with more acidity. Amazing stuff! — 9 years ago

Colheita Single Harvest Madeira Bual 1997

Enjoyed since Thanksgiving. Acidity never relented with orange zest, light caramel & black tea notes. We now have no Madeira in the house. Something I will remedy & not let happen again. — 7 years ago

@Andrew Schirmer - we always store it in the fridge & pour out glasses a while before to let them come to temp.

@Anthony Lombardi I meant, how do you stop yourselves? An open bottle of madeira in this house is an open invitation. 😀🍷👌

Insanely good mead (I can't believe I just typed that). Aged in barrels for 2 years. Much more like Bual Maderia or slightly sweet Oloroso than mead. Very well done. — 8 years ago
