Blandy's, arguably the most important producer of Madeira, has bottled towards the end of 2015 and amazing set of Vintage Madeira. We are very excited to be able to offer this historic bottlings to St. Louis. Quantities are quite small, fewer than 200 cases of each wine were produced, we are excited to have received what little we did.
