2008 Barca-Velha, Casa Ferreirinha, Douro

2008 Barca-Velha, Casa Ferreirinha, Douro

With just 18,000 bottles produced, rather than the usual 24,000 for Barca Velha (and compared to well over 100K for a Bordeaux First Growth), the 2008 has amazing dark, bold concentration, with perfume and spice saving it from being a brooding monster at this stage. It’s still playing its cards close to its chest, but the balance of alcohol, fruit, substance and character gives a hint of the awesome potential of this first wine of Portugal. It will undoubtedly blossom in time into a legend: a wine that will prove impossible to get hold of.
