title_body: How to best serve a Madeira that's been in the fridge for a few years?
upvoted_answer: Madeira is a fortified wine and very very sturdy. Pretty hard to ruin it.  I would not decant it but let it settle to the proper temperature. If you have it too cold you miss some of the flavor and too warm the alcohol is too prominent.

  It is usually recommended that the wine be served at between 13 and 14º for younger wines while older wines, given their greater complexity, should be served at a temperature varying between 15ºC and 16ºC.
