Cossart Gordon & Co.:

Cossart Gordon & Co. was established in 1745 and is the oldest company in the Madeira Wine trade. Francis Newton, a young Scot, sailed from Gravesend in Britain and arrived in Madeira on September 12th 1745 founding the company. He was joined by his younger brother Thomas from 1758 to 1763 and then by another Scot, Thomas Gordon of Balmaghie also in 1758. Thomas Murdoch joined the firm in 1791 that came to be called Newton, Gordon, Murcoch & Co. By 1850 the firm was said to be shipping "half the growth of the Island" and Newton's contacts in America through his brother Andrew (who left Scotland for Virginia) were proving to be highly successful and the company acquired an unequalled reputation as suppliers of fine Madeiras.

The woody infused flavor is absolutely stunning! Try this port wine with chocolate and experience the taste of brandy, the aroma is strong and very palatable, certainly Worth the price. Accompany with walnuts and blue cheese.

Coffee-colored and cloudy, with a greenish rim, this has singed rubber and coffee aromas, with chocolate and molasses flavors accented by a lime note. Complex, rich and aggressive, with tangy balancing acidity, finishing on a bitter chocolate note. D... Wine Spectator. A Proprietary Blend wine from Madeira in Portugal. 1845 Cossart Gordon Bual Madeira Solera 750ml
