Cabral Port, 1871
Colheita Port, DOC Douro
A rare bottling of Cabral 1871 port. Bottled in the 1970's from cask. Tasted by Michael Broadbent in 2001 with the following comments "Pale tawny indicating many, possibly 50 years, in wood; slightly varnishy on the nose but still sweet and delicious."

La Reserve College Cellars, 1871
La Reserve College Cellars Vintage Port, DOC Douro
The 1871 La Réserve College Cellars Vintage Port is an almost mythical bottle, representing more than 150 years of Douro winemaking history.

Vinha Velha do Douro - Colheita Port 1871, DOC Douro
The 1871 Quinta de Loureiro *Vinha Velha do Douro* Colheita Port is an extraordinary and almost unimaginable rarity, representing over 150 years of Douro history.

As a *Colheita*, it would have spent decades maturing in seasoned oak casks before bottling, slowly developing the profound complexity and elegance that only extended cask ageing can deliver. …
