Product Notes

Blandy's 5 YO Reserva is a luxuriously rich Madiera wine hailing from Portugal. Distinct for its sublime combination of nutty and fruity aromas, it exhibits a full-bodied and soft texture on the palate. The exquisite wine has a character predominantly of dried fruits, toasted almonds, and a tinge of orange peel. It reveals a perfect balance between acidity and sweetness, making it a delectably refreshing wine with a long lasting finish. Its complex and matured flavours make this Reserva an elegant addition to sophisticated soirees and intimate dinners alike. This is a truly timeless wine treasured by connoisseurs.

Tasting Notes

Lovely golden-chestnut colour with a fine golden rim. Characteristic and classic Madeira bouquet of dried fruits, toffee and hints of oak and spices. Sweet, very rich, smooth and full-bodied, balanced by a very fine acidity. A long aftertaste with notes of honey and spicy oak.
