Madeira, PortugalPouring a golden brown hue, with notes of salt-roasted nuts, sanded wood and lighter molasses on the nose. The soft palate is overwhelmed by abundant carmelized brown sugar, before coffee, marmalade, sweet tobacco and orange pith brighten. I reckon Duke of Clarence must be the most recognized Madeira the world over? Rich is the fullest category of Madeira, and this softer, simple Rich is accessible to all. A very sweet, historic wine, finishing with a spirited warmth that welcomes fruitcake or gingerbread pudding.Tasted: 17 March 2017Tasted by: Prices:
Madeira, PortugalExpect the classic amber colour with just a hint of green at the edge. The nose is ripe and sweet with a nutty floral, rancio, honey raisin character. The palate is creamy and full with a spicy chocolate vanilla raisin tobacco note and fine underlying acidity. Think cake here with best match likely ginger or coffee or simply sip it after dinner.Tasted: 23 March 2011Tasted by: Prices:
