  This is a special bottling of wine from each of the first ten decades of Barros's history. It comes in a super nice wooden box. Bottled in 2013, the port is mahogany with a yellow tinge and clear. Lemon and spice on shy noise. Walnuts, pecans, carmelized sugar, orange peel on taste. Good balance of acidity, tannins and fruit. Still very bright.

  FTLOP 11th Anniversary; 7/22/2016-7/24/2016 (Sammamish, Washington): Amber-orange in color. Caramel and orange spice on the nose. Great complexity, with layers of chocolate and subtle butterscotch.

  2013 Port Harvest Tour; 9/27/2013-10/6/2013 (Porto, Portugal): Average age of the blend is 65 years. Complex tobacco and mocha on the nose. Smooth, intense orange and caramel on the palate. Great acidity, rich, full mouthfeel. Very long finish. Just a touch of bitterness right at the very end of the finish.
