Solera- made, wood- aged wine, fortified with brandy. over 120 years old. The wine is sweet and luscious with flavors of almonds, caramel, toffee and orange zest. It shares similar characteristics with a 20- year- old Tawny Port. A collector’s wine.

A fine old Malmsey Madeira sherry has these characteristics, usually about 30 years old or more. be prepared to pay about $300 plus for this. It's just straight sherry Tawny port is probably more your speed at 20 years ot older and won't break the bank. I have a D'Oliveiras Reserva Terrantez 1977 Madeira for $100+ I bought three years ago. This is probably right up your alley and probably doesn't get much better than this as it's provenience and vintage is indisputable. Because it was bottled in 2007 that means it was in the barrel for 30 years. It doesn't get much better than that. It won the 2001 Silver Award of the International Wine and Spirit Competition.
