Blandy's Rainwater

Supple and lush, with pear, apricot and baked apple flavors. Rich, buttery finish. Drink now through 2013. 200 cases imported.

The non-vintage Rainwater Medium Dry has an uncomplicated marmalade and wax resin nose. The palate is light and smooth, with the toffee component rounding out the finish. It is not as complex as Barbeito's Rainwater, but should offer pleasure if slightly chilled and served as an aperitif.
