Broadbent
10 Years Old Madeira Sercial
Sumptuous but light. Fresh Italian prune plum, ripe date, and toasted walnut. Salted caramel, dark butterscotch, with an almost smoky, mesquite quality. Dry but very liquid. Lingering finish. The acid balance is so good, the wine is very light and energetic. There’s a bitter herbal quality on the long finish. Fantastic example of Sercial!

Oct 21st, 2022Wow, totally fabulous. Fairly dry, perfumed, lean, angular and very tart. Walnut skins, orange rind. So complex. But not heavy at all like most Madeira. Beautiful wine.
