For those in the Boston area, I bought these at Blanchard's in Allston. They are having a 20% off sale on Portuguese and Spanish wine (6 bottles) through 31 March. They still have 1937 D'Oliveira sercial and 1916 Barbeito malvasia in stock.

I saw it on the Heritage Auction. Yes, it certainly appears to be the Serrado.

A few bottles of Madeira from the 1940's (I think). Cool old labels. "Fine Old Madeira" "Superior Quality"

4 X 1996 Barbeito Verdehlo Cask : Simply put, in my opinion, Ricardo's best Cask offering. A stunner of acidity!

Miguel,

It's darn tasty! Love the Malmsey richness with a super squirt of acidity. Bart Broadbent knocks this one out of the park for the price!

I've been touting this one for many years; even before FTLOP existed when I posted extensively on the Robert Parker Forum about Port and Madeira. In fact, I had this as part of our Subscriber's Only Buying Opportunity a few years ago at a price I wish we could see again. [shrug.gif]

That's a great price.
I just shelled $40 (w tax) for mine and thought i had got a great deal.
Seems on wine-searcher that a couple of stores in CA also have it around $35, then the store at which i picked my up at $37.4 (before tax).
