Barros Port wine - 2 bottles

Barros Colheita Port 1974 - Anos de Liberdade 1974 75 cl. 20%

1974 was a landmark year in Portugal. After nearly fifty years of authoritarian rule, the Estado Novo government was overthrown in what came to be known as the Carnation Revolution, and Portugal was on its way to freedom and democracy.

Barros marks the 50th anniversary of the revolution with a truly exceptional bottling from their deep warehouse. It is, of course, a colheita from 1974, bottled in 2024 and decorated by the Portuguese artist, Teresa Rego, whose colorful and optimistic works reflect this vibrant wine quite well. It is made from equal parts of the four main port grapes: 25% Touriga Nacional, 25% Tinta Roriz, 25% Touriga Franca and 25% Tinta Barroca. There are only 300 bottles in Denmark.

1974 is also an excellent vintage for Barros, which has scored top marks with various reviewers, and i.a. scored 98 points at IWSC and 95 points at Richard Mayson.
