I have had a LOT of these bottles (500 ml only) of the RWC VB, which is a blend of Verdelho and Bual. But I'd really enjoy hearing from others who have tried this before. What are your impressions of this bottling? I don't know if there was any more bottled, but the first time it was bottled and sold, these went for a paltry $25. I used to give them out as thank you gifts to friends or send a bottle to good friends and relatives who were looking to try Madeira for the first time. I have only one bottle left.

IIRC I bought 1/2 dozen of the these when they came out. I think I've got 1 or 2 left. I really enjoyed them and thought them to be a great value. If there are more available, which I haven't checked yet to see if thats the case, and they are still around the same price I'd grab more of these for sure.

The Rare Wine Company still has this in stock - $35 for 500ml.

Drank all mine up. I guess I need more.
I liked this a lot; it does taste like a blend of Verdelho and Bual. Not great but very solid and well worth the price.

Eric,
I fully agree with your last sentence. Even at $35 the price is right for a solid, well made wine. The percentage increase on the Madeira is pretty significant but it would not stop me from re-upping.

Didn't Blandy's come out with a similar product in 500 ml size?
