This is one of only two Madeiras (of significance) that I've had and I enjoyed this quite a lot!

I had it over a decade ago and really liked it too. Here was my TN:

Actually bottled about ten years ago and made in the time honored Solera method, better known as a Sherry aging method. Light maple syrup color with a greenish tinge to the rim. 21% alcohol but it doesn't show, as this is one smooth operator. Rich toffee and silky caramel flavors abound here in this velvety textured Bual. Medium bodied, with assertive acidity and comprising complex layers on the sublime finish.

Yes, agreed. Great for the consumer that one the lot and also within $50 of what Justin had hoped to achieve. So everybody should be happy!

Nice juice too. [cheers.gif]
