This is from an offline I had while in Boston in April. For the full story see this post.
Blandy's 10 Year Old Malmsey Madeira [NV]
Not the greatest of TNs because I can't read all my writing. What I can interpret looks like the following:
Dark brown colour, rich-looking. On the palate there are touches of honey, clover with a very scant trace of coffee/espresso.
Oxidized and with a bit of biting acidity. A nice follow-through and an ending that lasts a decent amount of time on the palate.
My forte is definitely not Madeira and this would have represented only the 2nd time I had tried a Madeira, and the first where there was an indicated age on the bottle.
