92pts Wine Spectator

Shows a slightly plump edge to the mix of date, singed hazelnut and toffee flavors before a racy back end takes over, with bracing ginger and green tea notes. Offers a persistent finish.

90pts Wilfred Wong of Wine

The Broadbent 10 Years Old Boal Madeira is a satisfying fortified wine exhibiting flavors of caramel, toasted nuts, and toffee. This wine should pair well with aged hard cheeses. 

90pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The latest release of Broadbent's NV Boal Ten Years Old exhibits aromas of ripe cherries, pecans, orange rind and honey cake. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with a generous and enveloping core of fruit, lively acids and a cohesive finish.

Winemaker Notes

Combining different wines together, we try to have a final wine with high quality. Blending helps to balance the wine, to addlayers of flavors and better integrate the sugars and acids. Blending allows us to select the best characteristics of different wines and then mix them all together to create a much better flavor profile, maintaining the consistence of quality and, off course,reduce the negative impacts, if any, that some harvestyears may present.
