Blandy’s Duke of Clarence Madeira

When it comes to matching wine and chocolate, the best matches depend on the type of chocolate – milk, dark, white, salted caramel, I could go on – but this particular sweet wine takes most of them in its stride. Now, Madeira is not the most fashionable thing but that’s good news because a) it’s amazing value for money and b) it shows you’re in the know when you plonk a bottle on the table, pour everyone a small glass and then take yours, along with your easter egg, to the sofa. Pleasure.
