Silky smooth with hints of fig, dates, burnt sugar and raisins. Comparable to some of the most expensive vintage ports I've had; for a fraction of the price. Their solera consistently turns out fantastic madeira...perennial spot in the cellar. — 9 years ago
I love this Madeira. Nutty with some salinity and acidity. Just the right amount of sweetness. — 10 years ago
Wifey and I are loving Madeira lately. — 11 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
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
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
