Matthew Jukes awards "a perfect 20/20 score" to the recently released 2015 vintage of `Barca-Velha` - the 21st since the inception of Casa Ferreirinha in 1952 - and declares it to be "the finest Portuguese red wine I have ever tasted... With the depth and gravitas of the amazing 2011 vintage and the definition and freshness of the 2008, this 2015 combines all the finest attributes of my favourite Barca-Velha wines, resulting in a creation of uncommon purity, depth, and beauty."
Since it was first produced in 1952, Barca Velha became Portugal’s most distinguished and sought-after wine. The 2011 vintage is a blend of 45% Touriga Franca, 35% Touriga Nacional, 10% Tinta Roriz and 10% Tinto Cão. The nose is filled with ripe red and black fruits, followed by spicy notes of pepper, cedar, tobacco and a hint of minerality. Firm but velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity carry complex flavours onto a harmonious finish.
