". . . an absolutely fabulous glass of Madeira. The brilliant nose soars from the glass in a refined and powerful blend of baked peaches, fresh figs, Cuban cigars, savory elements of fresh rosemary and celery seed, a nice touch of caramelized banana, sweet nutty tones and a bit of bergamot. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bdoied, complex and absolutely bottomless at the core, with brisk acids, laser-like focus, seamless balance and simply stunning length and grip on the complex and hauntingly profound finish. A great, great wine."

Best known for fortified Port from the Douro Valley, Portugal also produces distinctive dry reds from native grapes such as Touriga Nacional. Its dramatic terraced vineyards and blending traditions give the wines a singular identity.
