For The Love Of Port

"Dec Lei" stands for "Decreto-Lei", in english "Decree Law", followed by the law's number and its year of publishing in the Official Gazette.

As per the picture, that specific legistation was published in the year of 1979.

I would say that the wording "Douro" on bottlings is also owned (aka: registered and trade marketed) by the IVDP.
Being that the case, my guess is this bottling could turn out to be an "illegal label" as well (but confess I'm not sure on this particular).

Is there some legal reason this would not be labelled as Port? Thanks, A.

I love this wine, the E.T. from Magnum Carlos Lucas, and have gotten the opportunity to taste it a few times already. The truth is, I can't get enough of it :shock: Interesting fact that the ET is a blend of a White grape with a Red grape . I don't think there's much of such blends available these d...
