Blandy’s Madeira – 2024 Bottlings
BY NEAL MARTIN |
I have adored Madeira ever since I first tasted a 1920 Bual at Blandy’s Lodge in its capital, Funchal, over 20 years ago. Each year, Blandy’s sends miniatures of their latest bottlings. As a rule, I do not taste from 10cl bottles or test tubes. But I make an exception for Madeira because these oxidized fortified wines are more representative than dry wines that seem enfeebled in small measures.
