T.N. Nice, but lighter and thinner than the 10 year Broadbent which I prefer with a cigar, Descent acidity with walnuts, caramel and a touch of heat on a 15 sec. finish. Great Madeira all by it’s self but definitely not to be drank with a full body cigar (Cohiba Esplendidos) :drunk: :blah:

Alex,

I agree with you that it is not as rich or viscous as the Broadbent although I know that Mannie Berk disagrees with me. As you mention it is a very nice 10 year old ... just not a great one. But for $40 ... how much more does one expect.
