First bottle on my case of Broadbent 10 Malmsey. Pretty good stuff, starts on the thin side, but I think it just needs more air. Nice balance of flavor and acidity. Good to have plenty of "house Madeira" without worry.

While I don't drink a lot of it, I've found this one typically starts showing better after a couple days open.Moses Botbol wrote:First bottle on my case of Broadbent 10 Malmsey.

I am going to uncork or decant the next bottle this morning as I will finish up the current bottle tonight. I can totally see this showing better after a few days, but it's hard to keep a bottle around long enough for it open up.
