Time Saver Blandys, Madeira Malmsey Smart Choice [9JDfuzVE]

The 1977 Malmsey is showing well, offering up aromas of dried figs, rich spices, demerara sugar, espresso roast, old Armagnac and marmalade. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny textured and nicely concentrated, with considerable savory nuance to complement its sweet core, concluding with a pure and moderately intense finish. This is a classy, nicely balanced Malmsey from a challenging era in Madeira's history.
