NOSE Sticky winey sweetness, dried orchard fruit, dried apricots, sultanas and some caramel with touches of oak and spice. The Madeira lands heavy and brings an intense sugary sweetness to it that isn’t quite balanced. PALATE Heavy golden raisin sweetness, wine sweetness, dried orchard fruit, malt, oak and some caramel. There’s something a bit off about it, like the pieces are a millimeter off and it’s not quite coming together. FINISH Medium-short -> Winey sweetness, oak, copper and some stale dried fruit fade out.
