Contemplating a splurge bottle, which would my madeira brethren pick?

I'm not much of a Madeira drinker, but I've had the 1907 D'O Malvasia and liked it for what that's worth. :)

Looking through my notes, I had a slight preference for the 1903 Boal... but they were both excellent.

I agree with Marco-- both are outstanding Madeira, but the 1903 is a little richer.

I prefer Boal iin general. I don't think I have had either two.

Both superb, I'd go with the Boal as well.

Boal for me too

A 1903 vote from here, too!

(but you can't really go wrong with either)

Count me in with the 1903 crowd.

Tasted both side by side in Funchal last May and not being a huge fan of Boal, I'd go for the Malvazia.

I vote for the 1903.
