| Ageing | Leacock’s 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 | Leacock’s 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, chocolate, cakes and hard cheeses. It has been bottled when ready for drinking and will keep for several months after opening. |
| Colour | Clear, amber colour with golden highlights. |
| Aroma | A complex and intense aroma of dried fruits (fig, prunes, almonds), toffee and vanilla-spice. |
| Flavour | Medium sweet, smooth, soft fruit, balanced by a strong backbone of citrus acidity and a luxurious, long finish. |
