Cossart Gordon 1995 Colheita Bual (Madeira)

Editors' Choice

Bual is the grape that creates the medium-sweet style of Madeira, and this wine fits the bill perfectly. It is a great wine, with its honey, its citrus to balance, its dark, nutty flavors, its merest hint of sweetness. To finish, there is a long, ripe caramel taste, balanced with layers of acidity. — R.V. (12/15/2008)

Cossart Gordon 1990 Colheita Medium Rich Bual (Madeira)

Price $32

Incredibly nutty on the nose, with hints of citrus and caramel. On the palate, lemon and orange flavors take off, although hints of honey-roasted nuts continue in the background. This is a fresh, mostly dry-seeming Madeira with a long, intense finish. — J.C. (11/1/2006)

Cossart Gordon NV 15 year Medium Rich Bual (Madeira)

Price $34

Surprisingly light in body, a result of this wine’s elegantly wrought balance between acid and sugar. The aromas are fresh, almost briny, while the flavors marry honey and dried apricots without intense sweetness. Long on the finish, where it folds in nutty notes. — J.C. (11/1/2006)

points

Leacock's NV 10 Year Medium Rich Bual (Madeira)

Price $36

Less nutty than other Madeiras despite being 10 years of age, this Bual has a striking bouquet that includes notes of fresh orange rinds. Flavors add dark honey notes to orange marmalade. Silky and smooth in the mouth, with a long, tangy finish. — J.C. (11/1/2006)
