Some aged Madeira!!!



Blandy's Maderia, history in a bottle!
Blandy's, arguably the most important producer of Madeira, has bottled towards the end of 2015 and amazing set of Vintage 
Madeira. We are very excited to be able to offer this historic bottlings to St. Louis. Quantities are quite small, fewer than 200 cases of each wine were produced, we are excited to have received what little we did.

Elegant aromas of dried citrus, honeysuckle and baked pear feature plenty of power. Offers saline notes on the fresh finish, with a crisp minerality. Complex and alluring. Drink now through 2040. 132 cases made.
