Winemaker Notes
Clear, amber color with tinges of gold and very strong legs; a bouquet of prunes, almond, vanilla, wood and toffee with a smooth, medium-sweet finish and an excellent balance between the fruit and acidity.

Wine Enthusiast
Intense with wood aging flavors that have subdued the fruit giving richness and taut, tangy, spice and acidity. The wine’s richness is balanced by the dry character at its core from the orange flavors. Editors’ Choice

Wine Spectator
Intense and concentrated, with a broad array of dark chocolate, maple, smoke and baked peach. Enjoy it on a cool autumn night.
Cossart, Gordon & Co. was established by Francis Newton, a young Scot, in 1745 and is the oldest company in the Madeira wine trade. By 1850, the firm was said to be shipping "half the growth of the island" leading to the company acquiring an unequaled reputation as suppliers of fine Madeiras. In 1808, the Scottish dominance over the firm was broken with the arrival of William Cossart, an Irishman descended from a distinguished Huguenot family of France. The title of the firm eventually became known as the now world-famous Cossart, Gordon & Co. The Cossart family has remained among the most influential on the island for nearly two centuries.
