Blandy's has thrown away the rule-book to create a striking new Madeira. Both the modern packaging and the new style of Alvada 5 Year Old Madeira have been designed with contemporary tastes in mind. (www.blandys.com) Expressive nose producing a harmonious combination of dried fruit, orange peel and maple syrup. Richness and power in the mouth followed by a good acidity. [Part of their] Best New Release. (Decanter, Feb. 2003) |
