Vintage $350 Madeira Beats Pricey Burgundy, Champagne

May 21, 2012

(Bloomberg) - It isn’t every day that wine writers get to taste Madeiras from 1910 and 1912 over lunch, but I had a chance to taste those two old-timers in an array that also included examples ranging from a 1920 to a pubescent 1996. Even more surprising was my finding that the 1910 Barbeita Sercial ($350) was the best of a dozen Madeiras sampled at a Wine Media Guild in a New York tasting earlier this month.
