Madeira pricing?

Post by Roy Hersh »

What do you believe is the fair market value of these 3 Madeiras?

1 x 1905 D'Oliveras Verdelho Reserva
1 x 1957 Barbeito Boal
2 x 1948 Barbeito Malvasia


Thank you,

Roy

I'm far from an expert, but:

1 x 1905 D'Oliveras Verdelho Reserva -- $695 at rarewineco.com

RWC tends to run on the high side in my opinion, but that's at least one reference point. You'll certainly get no more than that in a private sale.

I don't see any listings for the other two, but based on similarly aged Madeiras I'd say:

1 x 1957 Barbeito Boal -- $475-$500
2 x 1948 Barbeito Malvasia -- $500-$525

Those are meant to be retail estimates. In a private sale you'd get less... maybe 70-75% of that?
