Your Most Prized Madeira Bottle in Your Cellar?

Without giving your wine locker number and key...

What is your most prized bottle of Madeira residing in your cellar?

For me, the passion is there, but not always the $$$:

1880 Barbeito Malvasia

I've a bottle of 1862 Borges Terrantez and one of the 1802 Acciaioly Terrantez. These are the two best Madieras I've had.
Of wines not tasted yet, a bottle of 1810 Borges Sercial.

1884 Blandy's sercial BG

I haven't tasted this yet. I'm looking for the right occasion.

Right now, any bottle of Madeira is prized... Have a few bottles of 1940's Madeira that is nothing special. Have 1968 D'Oliveiras and few others sitting at a B&M ready for me to pick up...

That is it? Only a handful of Madeira enthusiasts willing to go out on a limb?

Hi Roy,

Here I go: mine is a 1850 D'Oliveiras Verdelho, 70's bottling.

Well, I should mention all my mentioned bottles were bought 12-15 years ago. Most Barbeito 1795 cost $ 900 ( dollar rate that time ), and note

including 25% Norwegian VAT at our State Monopoly .

They have little markup as winesbops around the world. They only have a percentage on the price they pay the supplier. Not markup on the value on the free marked.

I think perhaps the 1795 Barbeito Terrantez or the 1827 Quinta do Serrado Boal...

Probably a 1845 Lomelino Quinta da Paz, for me.

I do have a an ancient bottle, but I know little about it; and while it might be 'worth' more on the open market than my other bottles, it's a bit of a mystery as to what it will taste like! So "prized" is probably not appropriate for it.

I used to own a 1715 JCA, but someone offered me something I couldn't refuse AT THE TIME. Sigh. I should've kept a picture of that bottle to keep in my wallet......
