Blandy’s Vintage Bual 1994
Amber-gold with a coppery nuance, very characteristic. Good intensity, featuring notes of sweet spices such as vanilla and
cinnamon, toasted and candied dried fruits, toasted biscuit, and dried fruit cakes. Very balanced, round, medium-sweet, and voluminous, leaving a long finish reminiscent of butter cookies and vanilla.

Delicately singed caramel, date, dried blood orange, green tea and hazelnut notes are taut, nervy and mouthwatering as they drive along from the start through the lengthy finish, which leaves echoes of incense, Brazil nut and baking spices. Riveting. - JM
Intense maraschino cherries, poached plum, strawberry jam and pickled walnuts fill the mouth with unctuous, meaty intensity. Subtle touches of mahogany. Blood orange zest outlines the palate, adding definition and freshness. Long finish with lingering, broody notes of caramel, toffee, and fresh coffee beans.
A medium-sweet Madeira, this is rich and concentrated. The wood aging has intensified the flavors, bringing out spices and acidity balancing the sweetness. With its ripeness and spice aroma, the wine is ready to drink. - RV
