A.K.A. Malmsey, the stuff George, Duke of Clarence (brother of Edward
V, I think, and Richard III) is alleged to have drunk/starved himself
to death with, or if you follow Shakespeare, drowned in.

A sweetish, strong wine along the lines of sherry or tawny port. I
forget whether it is fortified... it's available at most decent wine
shops.
