What Madeira(s) Have You Purchased Recently?

[Jim S.]

I purchased these from a Chistie's auction at the end of December. I received them about 6 weeks ago:
2 bottles- Henrique Goncalves Borges, Malvasia Reserva Especial 1880, bottled from demi-john in 2023 by Francisco Albuquerque.
1 bottle- Araujo Barros, Sercial 1891, bottled in 1949, rebottled in 1973, 1998 & 2024 by the family.
3 bottles- Araujo Barros, Verdelho 1895, bottled in 1949, rebottled in 1973, 1998 & 2024 by the family.

Taking the tone down a long way from the last few posts, I’ve just bought a six-pack of 50cl bottles of Blandy’s Medium-Sweet 5YO - that’s the 50:50 blend of Bual and Malvasia.

Fabulous cellar defenders. Very easy to drink.

I’m running out of Blandy 2004 Malvasia colheita bottles so I needed something!
