1907 Madeiras
Posted: Thu Nov 08, 2007 9:03 am
Thought I'd make the heading somewhat generic to encourage notes etc.
However, in digging out my 1907's for a tasting later this month (in Toronto - probably will be populated by regular members of my group, but if anyone's near here on Nov 24, send me a message and I'll let you know if there's a cancellation to be filled), I discovered one that I'm short of notes on.
The stencil says " MALVAZIA 1907 JB MADEIRA" - and that's all the useful info.
My guess is that it's probably the Barros (Roy you featured this at one of your events - but didn't include a picture! - but you wrote of it as "MALVASIA" - the English, rather than Portuguese spelling).
There's no IVM slip, but it's a relatively recent bottling - my guess around 25 years old based on the stain in the neck.
Probably a US import as it has the standard 'Government Warning' and was imported by 'Vieux Vins, Inc'.
Anybody know for sure?
Incidentally we'll also be having the 1907 Blandy Bual, the 1907 d'Oliveiras Malmsey and the 1852 Verdelho from MWC.
Shared between 16 people to keep the cost reasonable.
