- 1834 Barbeito Madeira Malvazia - Portugal, Madeira (12/5/2010)
This is an amazing wine, bottled in 2005. The color is dark brown, concealing the destinctive green rim of Madeira. The nose of toffee literally filled the toom with a sweet smell of candy. The wine does not come across sweet at all, yet the palate is loaded with caramel and toffee notes. The wine would pair well with a number of savory dishes, but the best would be high fat cheeses. This bottle was served with both a double cream and a triple cream and the fat balanced the high acid of the wine perfectly. (94 pts.)
