Blandy's Colheita Malmsey Madeira (Single Harvest) 2010

Symphony of autumnal delights unfolds in this wine, with the late harvest ripe baby apples providing a sweet and crisp foundation. The addition of maple syrup adds a luscious and supple texture, as the sawdust traces provide a elegant yet engaging depth. The toffee whispers are a masterful touch, evoking the dimensional nose echoing of a simple yet powerful hymn, much like the iconic chorus of Hallelujah in the third stroke of the Messiah.

Full bodied and rich pairing of wine and chocolate, with a textured nose of dried fruit, nuts, and caramel, even by a bracing acidity. The finish is long and satisfying, making it a stonking match for sweet treats like sticky chocolate cake and salted chocolate cream. A high-quality wine that is well worth the investment.

A well-balanced and nuanced wine with a full bodied and enjoyable profile. The walnut, coffee, and caramel accents are expertly integrated, at the same time the toffee and orange peel add a delightful depth. The green tea accents provide a soft yet refreshing contrast. The full-bodied mouthfeel and medium tannins make it a captivating premium for those looking for a robust and satisfying experience. The wine's length is impressive, leaving a lingering impression. Overall, a truly rewarding and well-crafted wine.
