The Madeira Charleston Sercial Special Reserve is a light-bodied, floral Maderia. Dried flowers, mint, cinnamon, pine, cedar and mint are nicely delineated. Vineyards at elevation yield grapes that are harvested late at relatively lower sugars, yielding a Madeira that is especially dry. There’s good complexity here. The Sercial is a fine choice for readers who appreciate the drier style of Madeira. L22136. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, December 2022)

This is a dry style with nice walnut and date qualities. Really delicious and the finish and mouthfeel is robust enough to satisfy.

I love this stuff. What a value, and full of orange and fig and kumquat and oh yes, acidity. Goddamn.

Searing acidity that carries flavor of grilled lemon, hay, and hazelnuts. Finish lasts for days!

Dry, nutty, rancio,......cooked,....bad wine in the greatest way! Great acidity to cut the mild sweetness.
