H.M. Borges 1998 Colheita Harvest Malmsey

I've have a regular Thursday 'boys night' for ~12 years now. Normally we drink tequila, especially during the summer, but during the winter we mix it up with more wine. This past Thursday it was just 3 of us, myself, my bro and my best friend so I decided to have a Tawny & Madeira night. Shown ...

The prices on the Island are not that great. The reason to go there is to get things not sold in the states like Borges or ABSL. D'Oliveiras is the only one still with old stocks. You can get the 1850 Verdelho there. The oldest the Maderia Wine Co. has is the Blandy's 1920 Boal. H&H did have th...

Roy, the older version or new one, bottled 2014?
