The Barros Late Bottled Vintage 2019 offers a wonderful introduction to single-vintage Port. An LBV spends more time in the barrel than a classic Vintage Port and is therefore generally ready to drink when it goes on sale. This allows you to enjoy the character of the 2019 vintage without having to wait decades.
The 2019 vintage in the Douro produced grapes that several producers used to craft Ports with distinctive character. Barros opted for a Late Bottled Vintage, in which the wine ages in casks longer than a classic Vintage Port. This gives the vintage its own distinct character: dark fruit and structure, yet intended to be relatively approachable upon opening.
The 2019 vintage followed several much-discussed years in the Douro. For this LBV, Barros chose a style in which the origin from a single vintage remains recognizable, while additional barrel aging ensures approachability. The year 2019 was also the year the first photograph of a black hole was taken worldwide—a historic milestone that can add an extra layer of story to an anniversary bottle.
Dark berries and ripe plums give the wine a fruity foundation. Cocoa and a hint of spice add depth, while crisp acidity balances the sweetness. The longer aging in casks generally makes the style rounder than that of a young Vintage Port, but the concentrated fruit remains recognizable.
This is a Port that’s perfect for a relaxing evening. Serve it with a piece of blue cheese, aged cheese, or dark chocolate. Those who are primarily familiar with Barros’s oak-aged Colheitas will discover a different side of the same Port house with this LBV: darker in fruit and more directly linked to a single vintage.
