Hi there
I was given a bottle of Real Companhia Velha Vintage Port. It has traditional seal with the number 457262
The date on the front is annoyingly 19?? and the last two digits are rubbed out
If anyone could help I would love to know how old it is. My Grandfather gave it to me who recently died aged 90 so it could be really old and undrinkable or fit for purpose. I am total novice so any support appreciated
All the best
Jonathan
Could any expert help determine age of vintage port

Elsewhere on the front label it might have a bottling date, or in Portuguese “engarrafado”. That year could be two or three years after the harvest.
