I found a listing for this but can't really find much else. It appears to be a tawny (and therefore a Colheita) but that's all I can find.
Is this just an older nomenclature or something? (Like the Warre's Grand Reserves that I have seen occasionally?)

Got it figured out - I called the store and they sent me a picture. It's a Colheita that was bottled in 1989, which was presumably before the naming convention of "Colheita" came into mandatory use.
I ordered their entire supply of 5 bottles!

It's a 1964... I was hunting birth year Ports again.
