Thomas Jefferson Special Reserve Madeira

 

This fine wine is from the "Rare Wine Co. Historic Series Madeira.  I opened it today as today is "Patriot's Day" in America for those who live in New England where the Revolutionary War began. 

Madeira was one of the common wines enjoyed by the Founding Fathers and this is a special one given to me by my wife a while back.  It is unique!

Beautiful Brown crystalline tint with orange hues in the mix. 

The Bouquet:  A glorious melange of sweet burnt orange peel, toffee, baked molasses and more!

Palate--Powerful yet elegant flavors of brown sugar, baked orange, baking spices on a foundation of acidity which carries it all superbly! Finishes with a lingering, beauty of roasted almonds and more baked orange peel.

A special wine that comes at a price of $75 more or less!  A real treat so raise a glass!  And may the Lord forgive America for it's wretched godlessness today.
