This is my first ever Madeira! Funny enough, I’ve been reading and watching a ton of reviews on 100-200yo Madeiras. I don’t recall the details, but I think they’re supposed to be some kinda wine fortified by brandy(??) and also heated repeated or smth. Idk. Anyway, they have an elevated ABV%, and have the ability to age for literal centuries.

Obviously I know nothing about Madeira so I’m leaving it unrated.

In the glass: I don’t even know what I’m seeing HAHAHA. I’m just gonna call this pale golden brown, with distinct cloudiness.

On the nose: caramel. Honey comb. Honey. Toast. High alcoholic nose.
On the palate: high residual sugar, high alcohol but thankfully not offensive to the palate at all. Tasty to sip on, but I found it fatigued my palate after a glass.
