Do you still like the 1971 better, or is the 1977 getting closer?

1989 D'Oliveiras Malvazia. I've had it open since Monday for a tasting tomorrow with a bunch of college buddies. I did take a small taste and OMG is it good. The aromas are ridiculous as well. By tomorrow night it's going to be really singing.

I haven't had them side by side, but I think the 71 a hair better. The 77 is no slouch though. I think it's getting better.

D'Oliveiras 1929 Tinta Negra (Doce)
Rich body and sweetness, backed by powerful acidity. Magnificent.

A simple Cossart & Gordon Bual 10 years that was very satisfying.

1985 Malmsey from Blandy's that was missing the bite for me... bottled in 2009

Rare Wine Co. Historic Series New York Malmsey
H.M. Borges 20 Year Malmsey- this is the oldest Madeira I've had and it's much more tart than I expected. Smells overwhelmingly of candied pecan and toffee. None of that is in the flavor, surprisingly. Instead there's a lot of malic acid mellowed by vanilla.

Finally getting a chance to dig into the fabulous Buying Op that Roy put together. I’m a total Madeira novice and I love both of these. Madeira reminds me a lot of sherry, which I also love.
