Burmester Extra selected Vintage

Post by JB vintage »

We had a discussion about Burmester. On most vintage bottles from Burmester it says "extra selected" vintage. Is this just a generic expression to make it sound better, or is there vintage port from Burmester that is not "extra selected"?

As far as I am aware it is marketing guff, in the same way that Fonseca used to use "Finest" and Graham used to use something similar on their VP labels.

That was my understanding as well.

That was what I expected. Nice to get it confirmed.
