1997 Barros Colheita/Question?

Post by Bob Parsons Alberta »

Happy New Year everyone. I do not have a lot of experience with Colheitas so I am wondering if this Barros is from `97 or was that the year it was bottled?

Many thanks.

Without a pic of the bottle I can't say for sure. But if the label stated "1997 Colheita" then it's from 1997. Somewhere on the front or back label it should state "bottled 20.." or "engarrafado 20.." which would be the bottling date.
