Henriques & Henriques, 20 Year Terrantez Madeira

There’s always that moment when you take the last forkful of a delicious dessert served at a white-tablecloth joint. You look at your surroundings, the crumbs on the plate and realize, “I may never get to have something this good ever again.” Why not have that experience bottled and brought home? This 20-year Madeira offers just such an opportunity. Aromas of roasted almonds, smoked salt, and burnt sugar lay the groundwork for layers of flavors including sweet lemons, glazed babka, salted caramel, and lingering umami notes. No need to wade through a pricey prix fixe for a decadent dessert. Instead, have a stem ready.
