Honestly, nobody seems to believe me. It was Madeira. Absolutely. Without doubt. Madeira.

An unlabelled bottle, sealed with an unbranded cork. The contents were a pale golden colour, 10% opaque, but with a strong bouillion and seaweed nose. Sweet in the mouth - perhaps a boal. Modest mouthfeel and palate, strongly acidic but balanced by the sweetness. Modest on the aftertaste but a big finish. Perhaps suffering from a short decant time for a bottle that appears to have been from the '50s. 82/100.
