Blandys Bual 10 Year Old Medium Rich Madeira 50cl Reviews

5 Rating 2 Reviews
Read Drink Finder Reviews

Blandys 10 Year Old Bual was aged for 10 years in seasoned American oak casks in the traditional Canteiro system, whereby the casks of this wine are gradually transferred from the top floors of the lodge, where it is naturally warmer, to the middle floors and eventually to the ground floor where it is cooler. During this totally natural ageing, the wine underwent regular racking before finally being bottled.Colour and Appearance: clear, amber colour with tinges of gold on the rim. Nose: superbly complex. Great intensity, revealing a bouquet of dried fruits such as figs and prunes, with notes of almonds and oak and subtle hints of toffee and vanilla spice.Palate: sumptuous. Medium sweet and very smooth with a superb balance of coffee and fruit flavours with a clean and sharp acidity. Lovely persistent aftertaste.SERVING & CELLARAGEBlandys 10 year old Bual is fined and does not require decanting. It is a fine accompaniment to dessert dishes, especially fruit, cakes, rich chocolate puddings and cheeses. It has been bottled when ready for drinking and will keep for several months after opening.

I bought this Blandys Bual for my husband as he had described a first bottle as 'a minor religious experience'. This second bottle has lived up to the first, and certainly earned my brownie points for birthday present selection! I would highly recommend this to any lovers of Maderia. It was great value and very promply delivered too. Thank you.

We get a Bual Madeira every year for Christmas and this is one of the nicest available without paying a fortune. Smooth and honeyed, with a raisiny flavour. Lovely.
