Heat, oxidation and long aging combine to give Madeira its distinctively rich, singular flavor. Common (and positive) descriptors include: rubber, burning rubber, petroleum, citrus peel and of course, searing acidity. So, why do we want to drink this? Because the culmination of these horrors is a delicious and historical drinking experience like no other.
