I've never ever even have tasted a drop of Madeira, not even in the kitchen :lol: ...so I'm totally unknown with it.
When I would want to try a bottle of Madeira, what would be a good one to try to find out if I like the juice? For VP I both like them young and old(er), for tawny I prefer the colheita's and the 20 Y old ones (Ferreira the most).
Oh, please keep in mind that I'm just working in healthcare.... so no €75+ ones....

Thanks!

I think a good 10 or 15 year old Boal or Malvasia might be a good way to start.
Maybe then a Colheita. I've had some nice ones from 1995 and 1996.
