We used to do this every single year. With only 3 weeks left in the year, it would be great to hear what was the finest bottle or example(s) of Madeira that you have consumed in 2016?

Eric,
Was that from the Sercial tasting in NewYork?

Yes. I thought it a bit atypical for a Sercial, but loved it as a drink.

40yo Barbeito Malvasia was crazy good!

Hands down the 1901 D'Oliveiras Malvasia, tasted at the IVBAM event in Philadelphia. Knee-buckling intensity.

The Sercial Morgado Pavao Claro that I picked up in a Christie's auction-- Mind-altering!!!

1911 Bual - Blandy's (old bottling - no selo strip).
Perfect now - or in another 50 years.
Exploded from the glass filling the room and perfectly balanced.
Served with a roasted chestnut soup containing foie gras on a large crouton.

1863 Barbeito Boal - Very fortunate to have had the opportunity to try this ethereal wine in 2016.
A close second: 1934 Leacock's Bual.

When Glenn chimes in on a Madeira thread, you know there is truly "a disturbance in the force."
