Wine Expert Note:

Blandy's 5 Year Old Verdelho Madeira possesses a vibrant amber hue. The nose reveals a beguiling tapestry of dried apricot, toasted almonds, caramel, and hints of citrus peel. As one sips, the palate is treated to a beautifully orchestrated dance of flavors – there's the medium-dry sweetness of candied fruit and honey, counterbalanced by a refreshing vein of acidity. Nuances of wood spice, orange marmalade, and mocha add layers of complexity. The finish is enduring, with a lingering note of nutty richness. This Madeira's medium-dry character makes it exceptionally versatile; it can be sipped on its own, paired with savory starters, or even served alongside spiced desserts or cheeses. Truly a delightful journey into the rich tapestry of Madeira's wine heritage.
