Wine Expert Note:
Blandy's 10 Year Old Bual Madeira is a medium rich fortified wine that showcases the unique characteristics of Madeira. On the palate, it reveals a harmonious balance between sweetness and acidity, with flavors of figs, raisins, honey, and a hint of spice. The medium-rich body and smooth texture make it a delightful sipping experience. The 10 years of aging in oak casks have contributed to the wine's depth and complexity, allowing it to develop a rich and mellow character. The Bual grape variety, known for its natural sweetness, adds a luscious sweetness to the wine without being overly cloying. Pair this Blandy's Madeira with desserts such as caramelized apple tart or crème brûlée to complement its sweetness. It also pairs well with strong cheeses like Roquefort or Stilton, as the wine's acidity helps cut through the richness.
