Cossart Gordon Bual Madeira 1978

Cellar Selection Sitting on an island in two 650-liter wood casks for 43 years was good for this wine. It offers intense richness and layers of fine toastiness. The wood shows alongside mature hints of fruit and nut flavors. Its medium sweetness is well balanced by the typically concentrated acidity. It's now time to enjoy it, although the bottle will also stay in great condition for many years.

Delivers a very enticing and ebullient burst of peach melba, white tea, singed almond and date aromas and flavors, backed by a racy hazelnut streak on the juicy, fresh and well-defined finish. Drink now. 111 cases made, 33 cases imported.
