Barros Very Old Tawny Port 100 Years – An anniversary with history in every glass
This special edition from Barros was created to celebrate the port house’s centennial. The name “100 Years” refers to that occasion; it does not mean that a single wine has aged in barrels for exactly 100 years. Rather, it is the selection of old reserves that gives this bottling its character.
The story behind the anniversary edition
The unique name of this release pays homage to Barros’s history. The wine is not a Colheita from a single vintage; rather, it is a blended Tawny that focuses on a selection of aged reserves. As such, the bottle primarily tells the story of a port house and the expertise it has built up over the years.
The character in the glass
With very old Tawny, the focus shifts from youthful fruit to the nuances that only long-term barrel aging can produce. Think of dried figs, dates, toasted nuts, candied orange, and subtle spice. The richness can be impressive, but the wine’s freshness is just as important for balance.
A bottle to savor
This isn’t the kind of Port you pour hastily after a meal. The anniversary edition deserves a leisurely tasting, during which the aroma can slowly evolve. Its unique background also makes the bottle appealing to collectors who are looking for more than just a classic Tawny with an age statement.
