Superb fortified wine with preservation power. Dark brown color with green hues and thick tears. Velvet nose of caramel, orange zest, grilled nuts, floral notes and dried spices. Complexity trumps this driest Madeira grape. Long finish. Ideal aperitif. Goes well with olives, fresh ham, fish mousse, shellfish, roasted almonds or almond pastries, smoked fish, sushi, game terrines or pâté and fresh sheep or goat cheese. It is best to decanter beforehand. Store upright in a cool, dark place. Serving temperature: 15°C
