Description

We are delighted to exclusively offer the Barros 2012 Quinta Galeira Vintage Port. With 10 years of cellaring this represents incredible value.
The 2012 Barros Galeira Vintage port has a deep ruby colour with purple edges and aromas of ripe black fruits and fragrant notes. On the palate raspberry, cherry and blackberry flavours with a touch of spice. The finish has smooth tannins, nicely balanced with sweetness and has good length. Very nice.

Reviews

17 pts Revista de Vinhos - Lots of blue fruit, good minerality to be perceived in the aroma, austere but without losing elegance, centred in a graceful style, focused on the notes of carob and black chocolate.

***Mark Squires- Wine Advocate 87 points***
The 2012 Quinta da Galeira Port is a single-quinta blend of Old Vines field blend (10%), Touriga Nacional (20%), Touriga Franca (40%), Tinta Roriz (25%) and Tinta Amarela (5%), bottled in July, 2014. It comes in at 92 grams per liter of residual sugar. Opening with a familiar rush of sugar – although it is not particularly on the sweet side given the paper statistic s– this is a bit light in the mid-palate and quite delicious, with some alcoholic burn underneath. Tightening quickly with air, it becomes more austere and pointed all the while. This is a single quinta that is a bit angular, with some pop and power, but not a lot of flesh or mid-palate concentration. The next day it was mostly about the fruit and sugar, more charming and tasty, with the power receding, but now on the straightforward side. Give this 5+ years to settle down. It won't make the best old bones, but it should certainly hold well thereafter.
