Description
TASTING NOTES:
Lovely golden-chestnut colour with a fine golden rim. Nose: characteristic and classic Madeira bouquet of dried fruits, toffee and hints of oak and spices. Palate: sweet, very rich, smooth and full-bodied, balanced by a very fine acidity. A long aftertaste with notes of honey and spicy oak.
SERVING & CELLARAGE:
Blandy's Alvada 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.
