The Justino's 10 year old white Malvasia, or Malmsey, is a delicious sweet Madeira. Dark in color and aromas of nuts, molasses, vanilla and spices has a round, smooth, balanced taste of toasted walnuts, caramel and a hint of citrus zest. Intense and a long, balanced, complex finish. Try this one with some cheese and then make sure you have a second bottle on hand.
