Has anyone tasted the 1990 Barbeito Malvasia Candida Faja dos Padres Madeira?
I'd especially like to know how it compares to the 1986.

Yes, and I prefer the 1986, which I still have a few bottles of. Obviously both are ridiculously young, but for my money the 1986 gives the impression of being older. I've also had the 2001 and other vintage samples of the Malv. Candida bottling, bottled at the source ... meaning Faja.
