Sometimes aged Madeira takes multiple days to really open, I tasted a '77 Bual over the course of a few days at a wine shop and I recall about day 3 it was finally "bright". I assume my invite got lost... :)

I thought it a good read and wish I had a copy before my travel to the Piemonte last year. Only complaint is that it's too short, but I suspect one could devote their whole life to this region and it's many wines, not just the big B's!
