TN: Rare Wine Company Imperial Malmsey

Post by Marco D. »

I finally got a chance to try this wine, and enjoyed it quite a bit... Lovely example of Malmsey, in that although there is obvious sweetness, there is a firm acidic streak that attenuates any cloying attributes. Much like the other Rare Wine Company Madeiras I've tried, there is a pleasing firmness here. Noticable volatile acidity, but not distracting. Persistant "cling" on the tangy, lip-smacking, slightly "fudgy" palate. Delicious. Gets better with each passing day.
