I didn't get any response here
So I contacted Mannie directly, and purchased 3 bottles of O Americano.

I didn’t see that offer. Did Mannie send it out?

Re: what is meant by stylistic certification
I thought that Bastardo was also a noble varietal in Madeira.

Re: What Madeira Have You Opened This Week?
The 1934 H&H Verdelho was delicious. It didn't have the concentration of most of the others, but it had a purity that kept me coming back; it was one of the pours that I finished earliest in the evening. It was reminiscent of a lime lollypop...in the best possible way. All of the bottle were ope...

Re: What Madeira Have You Opened This Week?
I know this is from 4 months ago, but nobody's posted anything here for almost 4 weeks. Doesn't anyone open bottles of Madeira anymore? I opened these one week before a Boal tasting that I put together for my monthly wine group (Third Tuesday of the Month Wine Group). The Barbeito was the extreme ou...

Re: Anyone interested in buying 1920 Blandy's Bual?
There’s no bottling date on the bottles, but they look like post-2000, and could be as recent as 2012. I’m happy to send a picture, if you think that would be helpful.

Re: What significance has the recency of bottling had for you?
I've always enjoyed Madeira with some bottle age. More recent bottlings show more richness and power (which I can appreciate); older bottlings show a delicacy, with thought provoking filigree. On 5/29/17, I wrote the following PM to a fellow member: "Being curious, I thought about opening a fre...

Re: D'Oliveiras Moscatel Graudo
Hi Andy, Thanks so much for seeing this through to the end, and getting the real, if unromantic, answer. I was getting sort of antsy, so I opened the bottle, as well as a bottle of 1920 Cossart Malmsey. I brought them to a small wine-dinner, to have with some simple baked desserts. I served the subl...

I finally got around to contacting Mannie Berk about these 1875 D'Oliveiras Moscatel Graudo bottles, and this was the emailed response: "I have a couple bottles, but since I haven't visited the island in two years, I haven't had the chance to ask what the story is. But I know it's a different w...

Re: D'Oliveiras Moscatel Graudo
I guess that puts us back at square one, not knowing whether there is any difference between 1875 Graudo labeled and not-Graudo labeled 1875 Moscatel from D'Oliveiras (aside from when they were bottled).
I'll contact Mannie Berk, and let you know the inside scoop.

These came in those thin, cardboard gift-boxes. On top of the box, it says "Reserva Frasqueira".

Re: D'Oliveiras Moscatel Graudo
Hi Andreas,
These bottles have a bottling year of 2014.
I’ll take pics and make an attempt to upload the photos, but I’m not sure I can manage it.
Soon,
Jim

D'Oliveiras Moscatel Graudo
I have some bottles labeled 1875 D'Oliveiras Moscatel and some labeled 1875 D'Oliveiras Moscatel Graudo.
Are these different varietals? Any insights or other thoughts?
