2 x 1875 D'Oliveiras Malvasia Family Reserve
1 x 1895 D'Oliveiras Malvasia Family Reserve
1 x 1900 D'Oliveiras Malvazia Family Reserve
1 x 1987 D'Oliveiras Bual
1 x 1988 D'Oliveiras Terrantez
1 x 1989 D'Oliveiras Malvasia
1 x NV Barbeito Malvasia 30 Year Old Vo Vera
I added the following to this order (which still hasn't shipped awaiting the arrival of the 1875):
1 x 1908 D'Oliveiras Boal
1 x 1971 D'Oliveiras Terrantez
2 x 1989 D'Oliveiras Malvasia
FWIW, the 1875 Malvasia is no longer listed on RWC's website so they must have sold through everything they'd ordered from the island.

Picked up a RWC Boston Bual for a really great price; twist my arm. Enjoying it a lot. I like it a lot more than I did years ago. Not sure if the wine has changed or me... Either way I will buy more of this than I had in the past.

4x Blandy's Bual 5 year.
It's nothing special but I like it and it's on clearance in PA for $16, which I can afford! Two bottles are for tastings next year, the other two are for me.
Because it keeps after opening, Madeira seems like a wiser purchase on a budget.
