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

Hi Jonathan,

It would help greatly if you could post some pictures of the bottle.

Thanks

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.
