Re: Supreme Court Madeira?
Dear Marco,
"Supreme Court" is, better was, a brand of the Uniao Vinicola, associated with Vinhos Justino Henriques Lda. The only wine I ever saw was a 1904 "Fine Madeira Wine Reserve", no grape variety given. Unfortunately I have never been able to taste this wine, but my guess would be that it mainly consists of TNM. As to a fair price for that wine, given the rather low profile of the producer, I would not pay more than 200 USD for a *perfect* bottle. Just to many other good Madeira wines with proven quality still out there.
Regards
Peter
