934. Blandy’s, Terrantez Madeira, 1976

£105 / 37.5cl; 20%

Thankfully Blandy’s had this not only for tasting, but also available by the half-bottle – an excellent final dinner wrap-up after the Poeira. Deep amber with almost tawny glints. Dense aromatics of cooked orange, nutty walnut spice, furniture polish and smoke. Complex and dense. Maximum medium sweetness level. Integrated. Rounded. Balanced acidity. Spicy citrus and hazelnut. Long, with a distinctly saline twist.
