Winery Review: Medium light amber colour with pronounced golden highlights. Clean nutty aromas, light complexity and very agreeable. Brilliant wine - a good quality young Madeira in evolution. Medium flavour, nutty and slighty complex, with a good clean finish.



My Review: This was my first time trying Madeira and I'll be honest, I didn't know much about this type of wine before this tasting. On the nose, there was a strong scotch/whiskey scent to this. I also smelled dates when sniffing the Madeira. But oh god, on the palate this Madeira was a complete disaster. I was not a fan of it at all. I couldn't even place a good taste to describe the wine, but it was a combination of everything that could destroy one's palate.

I did not have this wine with food.
