Sandy,
What did you think of the D'Oliveira 1850?

[Roy Hersh]

Eric,

I wondered the same thing and there were other bottles we had while visiting D'Olly, that were outstanding as well.

Sandy,
What did you think of the D'Oliveira 1850?

The 1850 Verdelho was my second favorite Madeira on the Fortification Tour in 2010, behind only the 1875 D'Oliveira Malvasia.
