Have some Madeira my dear

Highland, Southern

Very quiet, almost shy at the beginning, but then layer upon layer of deep aromas appeared; spicy molasses-ginger cookies, succulent prunes, rum and raisin truffles, and honey glazed walnuts. On the palate we were transported to the Garden Isle subtropical climate, exotic and colourful flora, volcanic soil and enjoyed the perfect aperitif, a glass of Sercial fortified wine. A drop of water and sugar roasted almonds, honey roasted peanuts as well as treacle toffee, flapjacks and black Madeira figs. We then tasted the famous Madeira cake now with well-aged Boal Madeira wine, medium rich palate of dried fruits, full bodied and a good balance between the acidity and sweetness.
