For The Love Of Port

Greetings! I've come into possession of an interesting bottle of Madeira. Unfortunately, I haven't seen it yet. My friend tells me the bottle reads "1830 Malmaly Serial #232549 Selo De Garantia". I don't know enough about Madeira to know if she's mis-reading the label and it says "Mal...
