Madeira Verdelho
Madeira, Portugal
The fourth bottle on my 40th birthday week was this lovely surprise pour from a Somm friend at Tasting Group. While my Delectable account doesn’t reflect it, I’ve always been a sucker for Madeira and this was flat out delicious. Candied walnuts, orange fruit marmalade, creme brûlée, figs...all of the things. So richly layered and long lasting on the palate. Just lovely.

Birth year madeira for NYE. Beguiling aromas—Crème brûlée, play-doh, candied fruit, marzipan. Off-dry on the palate—saline, oxidative notes, brown sugar. Endless finish. Brilliant stuff. Decanted a week before tasting. #madeira
