Tasting - Sandeman Rainwater

Name: Sandeman Rainwater
Variety: Madeira
Region: Maderia
Country: Portugal
Year: 2013
Price: Regular: $20.00, Sale: $11.95
Winery Review: Medium light amber colour with pronounced golden highlights. Clean nutty aromas, light complexity and very agreeable. Brilliant wine - a good quality young Madeira in evolution. Medium flavour, nutty and slighty complex, with a good clean finish.
Personal Review: This wine smelled like a raspberry chocolate truffle, walnuts, almonds, and hazelnuts. The wine tasted like hazelnuts and caramel. It was super hot and the alcohol punched me in the mouth mid-palate. It's aftertaste was like nail polish remover - super alcoholic. I hated this wine and did not have it with any food.
