Malmsey, Blandy’s Madeira 1985

Tasting Notes

Bottled in 2009. Orange tawny with a yellow rim. Candied orange peel on the nose. Very lifted and quite volatile. Rather austere rancio and acidity on the finish. Almost Vin Santo style. Punchy. Not that sweet but very transparent in every way. Delicate. But very aggressive in its attack on the palate too. 2005 - 2020
