1988 Cossart Gordon, Bual, Madeira, 1.5 L

COLOUR Dark amber gold with golden nuance. AROMA Very characteristic. Lush, with notes of rich fruitcake, butter biscuits, toasted nuts and vanilla spices, balsamic notes, cedar oil and cigar box. MOUTH Medium sweet, concentrated and balanced, with notes of exotic woods and vanilla-like spices, surprisingly fresh leaving a long and rich aftertaste, with notes of sweetness and spice in old spirits.

95 points, Wine Enthusiast
"With long wood aging, this Madeira has developed a dense golden-tan color. Age shines through this floral, aromatic, concentrated medium-sweet wine. It is fascinating, the wood and spirit showing no sign of diminishing the wine's fruit and sugared orange flavor. Drink now. — Roger Voss"
