That price surprises me, considering that the last price on the 30 year malvasia was $145 and the price on the Barbeto 20 year malvasia was $75. I had expectd a price closer to $200. I'm not complaining, just pleasantly surprised.

I received the following reply from RWC:
Thank you for your reply; yes, some customers did buy it at the $149.95 price, which was a mistake on our part - it was seriously underpriced both for how good it is and for what we paid for it. The current price is $245.00, but as you missed out on the earlier price, I am authorized to offer you this Madeira for $195.00.
I bit on the $195 price.

I paid 245. Asked last Thursday, but didn't receive confirmation until today.
