Alan,
Nice. Christies has a case of old Port for me in London. Waiting for the weather here to cool before getting it sent.

Re: ABSL - which Frasqueiras are seekworthy
I've only had the 1934 M Faja. Thought it was terrific if not top tier.
D'Oliverias do have casks of ABSL as well as their own wines in the old ABSL lodge.

Wasn't Quinta da Pedra the estate founded by Richard Mayson?

Re: What Madeira(s) Have You Purchased Recently?
Hi Marco,
The 2001 Faja dos Padres was good. I think the 90 is better but I have to keep my vertical going! And there's so little of it.
The 50 Sercial MEF was purchased at Barbeito. Ricardo said it was fantastic but only a very few bottled. Didn't get to taste it though.

Re: What Port(s) have you purchased this week?
Coming back home from Madeira, I transited in Porto. I had one slot left in the shipper. Went to the duty free and got a 1974 Barros Colheita.

TN: 1930 Veiga Franca Malvasia Solera
Opened for the 4th. A special bottle for me. It was one of the first bottles of Madeira my parents bought for me when I was starting my Madeira exploration 30 or so years ago. Tee type cork. Dark, burnished bronze color with golden rim. A hint of bottle stink but this eventually mostly blew off. Mus...
