This Colheita 1999 is dark ruby red in colour with hints of brown. The smooth & nutty nose is elegant & mature. On the palate, this Port offers cooked fruit, caramel, almonds, raisins & a hint of vanilla. This 1999 is overwhelmingly long on the finish. More on Baro de Vilar Baro (Baron) de Vilar was established in 1828 when the royal title was conceded to the Kopke & van Zeller families. The two families played a significant role in the development of the Douro Valley & are considered to be the founding fathers of the Port market. In 1996, current Baron Fernando van Zeller decided to trademark Baro de Vilar & put the name on his Ports & other finest top quality wines. He wants to celebrate & perpetuate the family's tradition as well as the ancestral vinification practices. Today, Baro de Vilar is one of the top 5 Port houses & its wines are characterised by their style, finesse & accessability. Medal winner at the Vinalies Internaionales 2006 & the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles 2007, Baro de Vilar offers fantastic Ports!
