Aged for 10 years in American oak casks, this wine is a masterclass in cohesion and complexity. With a rich, gentle touch and a elegant sweetness, it's a true delight to savor. The profiles are expertly crafted, with a harmonious blend of dry apricot, iron, smoke, and other nuances that add complexity and interest. The linger is long and satisfying, with a clear sense of mineral and savory hints that linger pleasantly.

Classy and mild Madeira with a gentle character, Blandy's Sercial Colheita is a exceptional highlight for those wanting a soft and smooth option. Its rich, soft tactile quality and aromatic profile, featuring hints of whisky, orange peel, and dried apricot, make it an excellent pairing for a variety of dishes. The profile is well-balanced, with a medium-dry aftertaste and a rewarding array of dried fruit, citrus, and spices. Overall, a delightful and versatile Madeira that is sure to please even the most discerning palates. 4/5 stars.

Memorable evening with Chris Blandy, CEO of Blandy's, and TWS #2 2008 Verdelho, bottled in 2019 after 10 years in American oak barrels, with a voluptuous residual sugar content of 69g/l. The wine's pale amber color is blended by tones of honey, marmalade, raspberry jam, orange peel, and a hint of spice, and yet its sweet and high liveliness make it a delightful experience. The finish is long and satisfying, with tastes of caramel, maple syrup, and a touch of apricot.

Blandy's Verdelho Colheita Madeira is praised for its complex, harmonious blend of flavors, including dried apricot, orange peel, and spices. While some appreciate its sweet, smooth finish, others highlight its crisp acidity and nutty undertones. The wine's long, satisfying linger and well-balanced profile make it versatile and enjoyable for many. However, its bold candied orange flavor and alcohol presence may not suit all tastes.
This Blandy's Verdelho Colheita Madeira is a rare and powerful wine, with intense aromas of dried apricot, fig, and nutmeg. On the palate, it has a full body with a broad range of flavors, including honey, dried fruit, and spices. The finish is surprisingly long and complex, with a hint of flint and caramel.
