TN: NV D'Oliveiras - Madeira 3 Years Old Medium Sweet (Portugal, Madeira)

NOSE: lightly-to-moderately expressive: acetone/epoxy; sherry-like olive salinity; faint tawny nuttiness; raisin; hints of maple and vanilla bean.

NOSE: tight; tawny; varnish; salinic sherry thing.

BODY: medium-full bodied.

TASTE: sweet, but gives a relatively dry impression; golden raisins; tawny nuttiness comes on strong on the finish – toasted pecans.
