I have had 1890 Dow twice. Once is was a goner and the other time quite nice. 1900 Dow is an exceptional vintage if you can find it. That must've been an awesome horizontal of 1963; one of the greatest post war vintages. Michael Broadbent has a great portfolio of wines including Ferreira, Crasto, Musar, and their own branded Madeira (by Justinho). I have some various '63's, about 3 cases worth.
A couple of '63 Dow tregnum's would be most interesting I have of this vintage.
