Barros Special Edition: Five Decades Of Passion, Non Vintage

Very Old Tawny Port (Comes in premium wooden Box as illustrated)

Description and Reviews:
Very Old Tawny Ports are a growing category, albeit by their very nature niche. Barros recently joined the frey with a limited production Very Old Tawny Port of 1913 numbered bottles.To commemorate the Port House’s centenary, winemaker Pedro Sá has produced a blend from the best wines from each decade since Barros was founded. The average age of the wines is 65 years. It’s also unusual in that, apparently, it’s a single vineyard wine. The grapes come from Quinta de S. Luiz, whose vines range between 20 and 80 years old and which is located between 200 and 400 metres above sea level.
All the wines in the blend were aged in small 225 litre oak casks in the Barros warehouse in Vila Nova de Gaia.

Review:Silky in the mouth, fresh and fruity with honeyed dried apricots, citrus, sweet barley sugar and vanillin/cafe crème notes, this is undoubtedly an attractive wine. Persistent and really very drinkable.
