| Ageing | Cossart Gordon 10 year old Bual was aged in American oak casks in the traditional ‘Canteiro’ system. This comprises of the gentle heating of the wine in the lofts of the lodges in Funchal. Over the years the wine is transferred from the top floors to the middle floors and eventually to the ground floor where it is cooler. After this gradual ‘estufagem’ the wine underwent racking and fining before the blend was assembled and bottled. |
| Consumption | Cossart Gordon 10 year old Bual is fined and does not require decanting. It is excellent as an after dinner drink and also very good with fruit, milk chocolate, cakes and hard cheeses. It has been bottled when ready for drinking and will keep for several months after opening. |

| Aroma | Bouquet of prunes, almond, vanilla, wood and toffee. |
| Flavour | A smooth, medium-sweet finish and an excellent balance between the fruit and acidity. |
