Blandy’s Malmsey 10 Year Rich Madiera, Portugal

Blandy's 10 Year Old Malmsey Madeira has intensely concentrated nutty, caramel and honeyed flavors. Although it is a rich, fortified wine, it finishes bright due to Madeira's higher acidity.  Blandy's 10 Year Old Malmsey Madeira is bottled ready to drink after an average of at least ten years of cask aging. It has a t-cap closure, which means that you don't need a corkscrew to open it and that it will stay fresh for many months if stored in a cool, dark place or refrigerator. Serve it in a glass with at least a six ounce capacity so that you may appreciate the wine's aromas. It is delicious with nutty desserts like almond cake or pecan pie and anything made with rich chocolate!  In warmer months, try it chilled for a refreshing dessert in a glass.

Niepoort 10 Year Tawny Port (45.99) Portugal

Apricots, crystallized citrus peel and a little nuttiness on the nose of this fortified wine from Portugal. the palate has great structure with a long finish of dried fruit and orange peel, with hints of toffee, caramel, and honey. Full bodied and lush with lots of sweet fruit and a subtle finish that goes on and on. Fabulous representation of a 10 year Tawny Port
