I saw the auction begin at a low $760. What did it go for in price, and most importantly, who snagged them?

Wasn't me, though.

Thanks, Andy...

It seems it ended a couple of hundred less than retail.

Regardless of the price it sold for, it is an exceptional bottle of Madeira ... the Bual. it is delicious and although I've only had it 3x -- it has always won me over and rated very highly.

This from the first time I tasted it:

The intense and mouth watering attack of bracing acidity envelops the mouth and provides the supple spine of this wine. A viscous concentration of crème caramel and liquid butterscotch are inspired by chocolate covered raisins and vanilla extract flavors, creating a complex and sexy glass of Madeira. Not to be lost in the glory of the taste of this wine is the textural pleasure, which is incredibly rich, velvety and dripping with glycerin. The opulent aftertaste can be measured in minutes, framed by a chocolate nuance that is surreal. Jeez this is fine juice and a simply stunning 180 year old example of Boal!
