Re: Post-war plantings/bottlings of Terrantez
Didn't know that the '50 Barbeito Faja is so rare...39 bottles in CellarTracker, 1 of those in my cellar. Was this only & exclusively sold by RWC in 2005-2007?

Re: Post-war plantings/bottlings of Terrantez
As for post-war I'm not sure which war you're referring to. Either WWii or the peaceful "war"...the '74 revolution...but I guess what is meant is post '45: H&H T '54 was on the sweeter side for T when we tasted it 4 years ago. Very good ++ (and I try to be objective not be inflationary...

Re: 'Delicate old Madeira' - Date of its bottling?
The reference to 'delicate old...' would most likely refer to either Sercial or Verdelho would I be right in thinking? I wouldn't bet a dime on S or V...my thinking would be a blend...but no guesses or guarantees on the composition are possible (ok, guesses are possible, but unfortunately senseless)

Re: 'Delicate old Madeira' - Date of its bottling?
Your pictures make me even more confident...50ies.
Regarding quality: My guess is a reserve, like 15 YO or the like.
Don't expect great stuff, but it could be decent.
Lately I opened this Harvey's Reserve, and it was GREAT and SINGING...

Re: 'Delicate old Madeira' - Date of its bottling?
Pictures of capsule as well as from the bottom of the bottle (punt) would help.
I would guess the bottle (filling) originates from the 40ies or 50ies, see also here:

Re: 1937 port. (only 1 photo) should i buy it?
Those stencils legible read "nandez", so I guess the name of the Port was Fernandez or Hernandez. I agree, probably a Colheita from a local/small produceror even a private family stock. The latter is often a good thing since individuals often did private fillings for special occasions (wed...

Re: What Madeira Have You Opened This Week?
Regarding 1920 M C&G I think one reason why this is increasing in price is the fact it is said to be the last ancient M from Faja (dos Padres, of course). "Made from the last Malvasia Candida vines from" the Faja dos Padres vineyard. Tasted on eight occasions and it is always sheer per...

Re: Have You Ever Encountered a Fake Madeira?
Hi Eric!
So in case this was a 5 YO and if bottled in lets say 1930 then it would have been a 1925!!! Not bad.
Just joking.

Re: Event: MARSALA MASTER AND SICILIAN ICON MARCO DE BARTOLI
Dear Moses!
Many thanks!!!
I do indeed like the Bartoli sytle quite a bit...also their Pantellaria Bukkarams are great.
I will try to resist for a few days and monitor them evolving over a few days.
Purchased one 1860 and a Vergine 1988, will check this out later this year.
Cheers
Andy
