Vinhos Barbeito (Rare Wine Company Historic Series)
New York Special Reserve Malmsey Madeira
Madeira, Portugal
Dang this is tasty, especially with the devils affogato that I'm eating at current. Loads of nuttiness, coffee, fig jam, saline. Beautiful texture and not at all cloying. I hate to toot my own horn (my wife will tell you "no you don't..") but this pairing was freakin amazing.

It's Malmsey, so the roasted nuts and carmel are a given, but the bright orange zest and marmalade really bring it in to it's own. The flavor's just keep coming until there's a nutmeg quality that ends with the nice, warm burn of the 19% ABV. This is the Armagnac of Wine.

NO birthday is complete without some fortified wine from Portugal. This one makes its way from the island of Madeira. Insanely complex the aroma and flavor so are roasted mixed nuts, caramel, orange peel, sea salt, prosciutto and licorice. Excellent acidity on the weightless, though crazy long finish. #newyork #madeira @Rare Wine Co.

Get To Know Sherry class... hijacked when the class decided to pool our funds to buy a $55 bottle of Medeira and get a bonuss lessons from Tom! Much lighter body than the dessert Sherry we we ended class with, but some of the same nutty and slightly sweet notes. Definitely need to visit Medeira some day!!
