The 2008 Blandy's Single Harvest Bual (2022 Bottling) comes with 95g/L residual sugar offset by 6.6g/L total acidity. It is understated on the nose as a Cossart's Malmsey, and in that since, I would like more presence aromatically. Likewise, the palate feels just a bit light for a Bual, balanced yet not really gripping the mouth, if lingering towards the finish. It is pleasurable, though can't help feeling that it could give me more. It does cohere with aeration, though I am seeking a little more complexity in this Madeira. 2,600 bottles produced.
