2004 Barca Velha
This is the current release of Barca Velha, only 26,068 bottles have been released. Deep red in colour, superb on the nose with a strong concentration of dark fruit and beef stock. Wonderfully balanced and elegant entry with superb fruit concentration and gentle tannins. Lots of purple fruit all over the palate and a wonderful finish. A superb wine. 95/100. Drunk 14 June 2012.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
