A rare treat — 9 years ago
Hands down winner from today's #Elevenses @Christie's Wine. Bottled in the 70s, recorked in 2011. Sercial, so you know the acidity is in full effect, but the wine is really harmonious and balanced. It's not as "offbeat" as some other older Madeiras I've had, and honestly would be straightforward to pair with food...roast chicken, for one. — 9 years ago

Always my favorite of the varietals. The depth and complexity of flavors astounding. Super maple, carmel toast aromas. — 7 years ago

Another 19th century resurrected style by the Rare Wine Co., made by Beirbeto in Madeira. True to its Rainwater style, can pair w any cheese or nut. Outstanding historical drink. #Strawhat — 9 years ago

Excellent port! Sweet and silky with complex flavors of dried fruit. Great for sipping in the evening. 🍷😀 #wine #redwine #dessertwine http://rosescafe1.blogspot.com — 7 years ago
Easy drinking post lunch wine. Just sweet enough, but Not as heavy as a port so more dangerous! 1999 vintage — 8 years ago
Very beautiful aroma here with tons of tawny like nuttiness coming through, flowerlike sweetness and perhaps a bit of loamy earth. On the palate, the wine goes nuts - literally - with a spicy (almost like chili peppers) nutty mix, finishing with sweetness and heat. Fun wine. — 9 years ago
Maple, copper, candied walnut. — 9 years ago
I love this Madeira. Nutty with some salinity and acidity. Just the right amount of sweetness. — 10 years ago
