The dark, moreishness of fig, tobacco, cherry leaves, coffee beans and cocoa nibs, builds an intense palate, further layered with marmalade, cherry pie and pickled walnuts. All sprinkled with turmeric and nutmeg. It widens on the mid-palate, revealing a spicy rim. Notes of cherry leaves and dried sage remain, long and broody.

This medium-dry Madeira is rich with an intense nutty aroma that moves on to the palate. Typically, this Madeira is balanced by burnt edge toast from long wood aging. It is a delicious wine that is ready to drink. - RV
