Madeira tasting
AN EXTRAORDINARY MADEIRA TASTING
This two-part lot features a tasting of four Madeiras--each over a century old--for up to eight people in a private palace in the center of Florence. The dates are 1863, 1870, 1875, and 1920. The 1875 has been the top-rated wine at two nineteenth century tastings. The wine was sourced from Christies in the 1980s and the collection of leading expert Patrick Grubb in the 1990s and early 2000s, with one bottled taken directly from the barrel on the island in 1999. The 1875 was also voted the best Madeira out of 18 different bottles from 1870 and 1875 at a tasting held in 2025
If the highest bid is over 30,000 € then a bottle of very rare Terrantez 1795 will be added to the tasting.
It is believed that only 150 bottles of the 1795 are known to still exist in the world.
If prefered, the winning bidder can take the bottles rather than have a tasting.
ESTIMATED VALUE US$ 11.700,00
