Cossart Gordon Vintage Malmsey 1995 Fortificado

Description

This Malmsey from Cossart Gordon is a deliciously perplexing wine, transporting you directly to the island of Madeira itself – a rich tapestry of mahogany and gold, like a shipwreck adrift in the Atlantic. The sweetness is undeniably velvety, with notes of tea molasses and, intriguingly, a hint of dry pine needles, a clear reflection of the unique terroir. A resounding 95-point score from *Wine Monthly*, of course, and ideally paired with some perfectly grilled seafood to tame its opulent sweetness.
