| Ageing | Blandy’s 1999 Harvest Malmsey was aged in seasoned American oak casks in the traditional ‘Canteiro’ system, whereby the wine is gently heated by warm air in the lofts of the company’s south-facing lodge in Funchal. Over the years the casks are transferred from the top floor to the middle floor and eventually to the ground floor where it is cooler. The wine is regularly racked during the ageing process and is finally bottled when the desired balance of maturity is reached. |
| Consumption | Blandy's Harvest is fined and does not require decanting. It is an excellent accompaniment to rich desserts and cheese. It has been bottled when ready for drinking and will keep for several months after opening. |
| Colour | Amber colour with golden green reflections. |
| Aroma | Characteristic bouquet of Madeira with dried fruits, vanilla and wood. |
| Flavour | Rich and full bodied with notes of tea, toffee, spices and chocolate. Sweet and smooth on the palate, with a honeyed aftertaste. |
