A glass of Madeira---it`s been awhile!

TN: Old Reserve, 10 Years Old--Justino`s.
Walking into my local wine store hotspot here in Edmonton, I spied 3 nearly empty bottles on the tasting bar. "Where were you Monday night Doris?".."Watching the curling, what did I miss here?"
Anyhows I tried the Fine Rich 3 Years Old and found it acceptable. The glass I poured next was a revelation, the 10 Years Old. Now I am no expert but I do like my sweeties! Deep amber colour with an elegant rich, ripe nose of caramel and toffee. Nice and smooth on the palate, more caramel and coffee. Life does not get better than this as I wandered around and checked out the Port selection. The aftertaste followed me around as I muttered "to hell with the curling".
