For The Love Of Port

I bought a bottle of madeira in an online Skinner auction last night, but details were scanty. I'll probably go pick it up in a week or so, but it was listed as "Borges 1945 Madeira". Anyone know anything about it, or have tasted it? The only 1945 Borges I could find listed online (in someone's semi-comprehensive list of all vintages) is a Verdelho.

The only Borges 1945 Madeira listed in The Madeira Wine Guide Vintage List (not sure if that's the list you were referring to) was indeed a Verdelho:

Don't know anything about it, but it would be cool if you could post a picture of it. Congrats on the auction win.
