CASA FERREIRINHA DOURO BARCA VELHA 2008 (1)
Douro, Portugal.
u. 1 cm. scuffed label.
Call it a Burgundy lover's vintage in Douro. On its own terms, this is pretty fine. Still a touch closed, this understated Barca Velha has considerable potential for improvement in the cellar. I'm still not sure it will have quite the aging curve that these wines ordinarily do, but they all hold rather well. There are about 700 bottles available for the USA out of a total of 18,000 produced. December 2016 Drink: 2017-2042 WA 95
