Blandy's Madeira

 

Blandy's Madeira Rainwater...$18.99 / 750ml
Rainwater is a medium dry pale Madeira which combines soft fruit and a dry nutty quality. Serve lightly chilled as an aperitif. Madeira has a long history of use in cuisine where its fine bouquet adds a subtle yet recognizable nuance to sauces; Rainwater often being the preferred wine.

Blandy's Madeira 5 Year Malmsey...$28.99 / 750ml
Clear, amber color with tinges of gold; a bouquet of dried fruit, vanilla, wood and toffee with a smooth, sweet finish and an excellent balance between the fruit and acidity.

Blandy's Madeira 10 Year Malmsey...$32.99 / 750ml
“The non-vintage 10-Year-Old Malmsey has an introspective, marmalade, fig and burnt sugar-scented bouquet that gently unfurls in the glass. The palate is very well-balanced, with a viscous entry that lacquers the mouth. The acidity is very well-judged, lending the finish a sense of poise and tension that neatly counterbalances the richness and precocity. This is very well-made.”
90 / 100 points Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Blandy's Madeira 15 Year Malmsey...$43.99 / 500ml
Clear, dark golden brown with very strong legs. Characteristic bouquet with complex dried fruits and wood, toffee and vanilla. Sweet, smooth, full bodied, complex, and a long finish of nuts and dark chocolate.
92 / 100 Wine Spectator
