Critical Acclaim & Taste
WW 92 Wilfred Wong of Wine.com
Sassy and alluring, the Broadbent 10 Years Old Verdelho Madeira shows that fortified wines are about more than just body and sweetness. This wine, with a mostly dry impression, shows just a bare hint of sweetness. The wine's complex flavors—dried fruit, complex earthiness, and mineral—combined with its tangy and salty finish, pair well with gravlax, lightly smoked cheeses and toasted almonds.

RP 91 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Broadbent's NV Verdelho 10 Year Old is showing very well, offering up an attractive bouquet of cherries, orange rind, cardamom and honey cake. On the palate, it's full-bodied, satiny textured and enveloping, with ripe but racy acids, a generous core and a nicely defined finish. This is a real success.
