TN: Blandy's 15 year old Malmsey
Posted: Wed May 18, 2011 8:00 pm
From a 500 ml bottle.
Upon opening, quite dark, almost cola colored with a green rim.
On the nose, quite a bit of VA. Citrus and caramel. Very Malmsey. On the palate, some bitterness, orange pith, more caramel. Quite a lot of screechy acidity. Decent finish. After 24 hours, this has settled down. Still a lot of citrus and caramel. The acidity has become more integrated and better balanced. Nice tangy finish. This is quite good. Not as rich or opulent as the Broadbent 10 year old, but I like the acidity better.
