Bid on this bottle of 1922 D'Oliveira Boal Madeira Reserva (96JG, 93WS). John Gilman: "The 1922 Boal from d’Oliveira was bottled in 1999 and is an absolutely fabulous glass of Madeira. The brilliant nose soars from the glass in a refined and powerful blend of baked peaches, fresh figs, Cuban cigars, savory elements of fresh rosemary and celery seed, a nice touch of caramelized banana, sweet nutty tones and a bit of bergamot. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bdoied, complex and absolutely bottomless at the core, with brisk acids, laser-like focus, seamless balance and simply stunning length and grip on the complex and hauntingly profound finish. A great, great wine." (01/2014)

Bid on this bottle of 1922 Vaghi Vintage Bas Armagnac in original wood. Vaghi Armagnac is an independent bottler dedicated to preserving the individuality and quiet grandeur of Armagnac. Rather than distilling itself, Vaghi curates exceptional casks from traditional, often family-run producers, releasing them with minimal intervention to preserve their natural character. The focus is on single-cask, vintage-dated Armagnacs, frequently bottled at natural strength and presented with clear, transparent labeling. Shaped by traditional distillation and long maturation in oak, these spirits evolve from vibrant eaux-de-vie into layered, harmonious expressions marked by fruit, spice, and depth rather than weight. Spanning nearly a century of distillation, this library offers a rare perspective on Armagnac through individual vintages—each bottle a singular, unrepeatable record of time, place, and tradition.
