Hi
Madeira is in principle indestructible - it survives poor storage better
than any other wine. 10% evaporation is a bit excessive, however. Could
you describe liquid level in relation to the bottle, i.e. does it reach the
shoulder, or even the neck of the bottle, or is it below the shoulder? Is
there any legible lettering on the label and can you repeat it here?
Does the cork seem to be in good shape, is it loose? (Don't open yet! =
:-0 )
The value could be something like 200-700USD but more info is needed
