TASTING NOTE: Bual is a sweeter style of Madeira. This has a terrific, complex nose of coffee, raisins, dried wood and walnuts. It's medium-full bodied with fiery core built on well balanced acidity, tannin and 19% alcohol. It dries to a nutty and dried orange finish that echoes to outstanding length. Very impressive. Will age a very long time in bottle. Score: 92 (David Lawrason, winealign.com, Nov. 2010)
