| RAINWATER MEDIUM-DRY MADEIRA DOC |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
BROADBENT |
| Light amber orange colour. Sweet, buttery, toasty, caramel nose. Sweet (67 g/L residual sugar), medium bodied, well structured, smooth, somewhat spicy, ripe plum-raisin flavours with a lingering, very tasty, vanilla-caramel-creme brulee finish. A great summer sipper when served slightly chilled. Produced by Justino’s in Madeira and aged for 3 years in cask. Much better than when it last appeared in Vintages (*/*+) on May 29, 2010 at $17.95. |

| TASTING NOTE: The non-vintage Rainwater Medium Dry is aged for three years in oak casks and this was bottled in January 2011. It has a light, toffee-scented bouquet with hints of creme brulee. There are subtle notes of marzipan, raisin and fresh fig that are well-defined and become voluminous with aeration. The palate is sweet and spicy on the entry. It is understated at first with smoked walnut, nougat, cumin and Chinese 5-spice and it builds gently towards a harmonious, beautifully balanced finish with traces of red chillies, dried honey and walnuts. This is a wonderful Rainwater. Score - 90 (Neal Martin, erobertparker.com, Aug. 2012) |
