"Light medium tea color with a golden rim. I love the salty nose of this wine and swirling scents of toasted walnuts, citrus peel and torched sugar. There is plenty to enjoy here, with viscous, chewy and smooth waves of flavor. I always seem to get a sinful mouthful of butterscotch when drinking this Malmsey, but today there is also a lime essence and a salty/sweet nut profile as well. The ample acidity is well-defined yet balanced and prevents this from becoming the worldâs greatest pancake syrup. An excellent showing of the Broadbent, with a remarkably decadent aftertaste, itâs just stunning for the price."

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.
