The Wine Thread

[Gabe215]

It was very good Moses this is my first Madiera with age, I've had Broadbent rainwater which I enjoyed a lot, and Sandeman Fine Rich which wasn't to my taste, reminded me of Sherry. So I have only those to compare it to but I really like it it's a nice change of pace to Port which is pretty much all I've been drinking lately. So yes I can get Broadbent but they do not stock 10 year but if they have it chances are they can order it. What kind should I ask for special dry? I'd like to try Bual also?
As always thanks for any and all input wise one!

Broadbent has a few higher Madeira's. The 10 is medium sweet. I don't believe it's a single varietal like Bual. They also make a Colheita for around the same price, but I like the 10 better. I believe they also have a Terrantez that is well priced, and if so is worth all the money and then some. Terrantez may be the best Madeira varietal, but very rare and limited in production.

If you can get a 10 year and if you're feeling sporty the Terrantez, you'll be very satisfied for the purchase. If you can get the 10 for under $40, you are doing well. I like the Broadbent 10 better for the same money as RWC Historic Series Madeiras.
