95 points Wine & Spirits: "[$113 list] Madeira’s coastal scents rise out of the glass, transforming into a beautiful freshness. This wine is all about salinity, whether it’s the salt air of the sea, or sea salt on caramelized pecans. In the end, those notes tighten up around the acidity, lasting on scents of fresh mint and green tea. It’s a robust wine that feels cool for all of its alcohol, a wine with complexity that doesn’t stop. Bartholomew Broadbent started this project in 1996 with the help of his father, Michael Broadbent, to help source the wines and finalize the blends. Broadbent, who headed up Christie’s wine department during his long career in wine auctions, passed away this past March at the age of 92. The collection of Madeira he helped his son to build—and wines like this 1998, which the Broadbent team made and aged—will live long into the future. (Oct 2020)"
