Rare Wine Co Boston Bual Madeira
Region: Portugal
Noticeably sweeter than Charleston Sercial and Savannah Verdelho, Boston Bual still boasts remarkable balance and refreshing acidity. The hallmark of this wine is its otherworldly complexity, featuring cinnamon-clove spiciness with overtones of citrus peal and woodsmoke. There is just enough sweetness to excel as an after-dinner wine, but its long, dry finish also makes it work beautifully with food. A sweet spice box of aromas orange peel, cinnamon, clove segue onto tobacco and burnt toast flavors. A wave of acidity sweeps in and the finish evokes iodine, mineral and grilled nuts. Fine length.
Staff Review:
Heaven in a glass, perfect for anytime after dinner, especially if there is a fire going. Rich and spicy upfront with a touch of surprising acidity on the finish. Enjoy!!
