TN: 1989 D'Oliveiras Madeira Malvazia

[Marco D.]

• 1989 D'Oliveiras Madeira Malvazia - Portugal, Madeira (9/15/2011)
  Popped and poured. I continue to marvel at how good this is; perhaps the best "under $100" Malvazia currently on the market. Obvious sweetness but the acids are so bright and sharp - you can practically sense the acidity on the nose, as it almost makes you purse your lips while breathing in the intoxicating scents. A complete wine that has impact upon entry, coats the palate in the middle and finishes clean and refreshing after swallowing. Lingering flavors of caramel, citrus skin and fruitcake reverberate on the palate. I hope they have more of this aging in cask at D'Oliveira, as it would be a real treat to taste a later release with even more age on it. An impressive "young" wine. (92 pts.)

Marco,
how much does this sell for? Obviously sounds really good from your tasting note.

It's about $90 at the RWC. They featured it in one of their newsletter back in May:
