Throughout its long history on the island, the family has played a leading role in the development of Madeira Wine. The family continues to live in Madeira, thus maintaining a tradition that dates back to 1811 - two centuries and seven generations producing excellent wines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrancisco Albuquerque\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape \/ Blend\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eMalvasia \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eMadeira, Portugal\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinemaker's Tasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eIntense golden mahogany color with almost greenish reflections. It presents a characteristic bouquet of wood, dried fruits, confectionery, floral tea, spices and honey. The attack is sweet and soft, smooth full-bodied, with notes of aged brandy and slightly smoked woods. Long finish, with some freshness and heat, with notes of spice, smoked walnut and molasses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 Points - Decanter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's notoriously difficult to make a balanced Malmsey. That's precisely what Blandy's achieved here. Lovely extract on the palate, with great substance, weight but also poise. Dried walnut, nectarine, red apple and apricot peel fill the mouth, set against a background of coffee, tobacco, Oolong tea and fig leaves - savoury and herbal notes that beautifully offset the luscious sweetness. Lingering notes of honeyed walnuts, floral honey and glazed apple.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91 Points - James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Malmsey shows leather, dried fruit and roasted nectarine aromas. This has around 125 g\/L of residual sugar, but the palate is incisive with citric acidity. Like all these wines the acidity determines the sensations and conditions the sweetness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eProduct size: 750ml\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Breakthru","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55380556349745,"sku":null,"price":56.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/0441\/0666\/files\/Blandy_s_10YearMalmsey_Madeira_Portugal_NV.jpg?v=1784670691","url":"https:\/\/marchantofwine.com\/products\/blandys-10-year-malmsey-madeira-portugal-nv","provider":"Merchant of Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
