Alcohol/vol 19%
Intense golden brown mahogany color, with almost greenish reflections. It presents a characteristic bouquet, with a good and complex nose, revealing a set of wood, dried fruits, confectionery, caramelized, floral tea, spices and honey. The attack is sweet and smooth, soft and full-bodied, with notes of aged cognac and lightly smoked woods. Long finish, with a certain freshness and warmth, with notes of spices, smoked walnut and molasses.

Mildly syrupy in texture, this is an intensely sweet Madeira balanced by racy acidity. Rancio and brown sugar aromas lead the way, followed by flavors of caramelized nuts, molasses and burnt citrus peel. Excellent length on the finish, where the crisp acids really shine.

The richest and sweetest style for 10-year-old wine is the NV Malmsey 10-Year-Old, a grape dominant in the north of the island, in the region of São Jorge, fortified to 19% alcohol and keeping 125 grams of unfermented sugar. It's floral, spicy and smoky, nutty and complex, with a velvety palate, warm and rich. This is the sweetest of the grapes. I tasted the August 2024 bottling, but there's no information of the bottling date. The 10-Year-Old range of wines now have a transparent color with colorful labels, one for each variety.
