I am not aware of one being released. I’d guess it’s a mistake by the retailer listing it for sale.

I have a 3 pack OWC of 2011. Bought more as a novelty as I don't think I'll ever drink them. Maybe in 2030 or beyond? Ask me then and I will open one with you just because you referred to this thread.

Keep drinking Port and you'll live long enough to see it mostly mature [cheers.gif]

+1 (if you see the price it is offered for, it's the only possibility :D )

Not the first time this mistake has been made. I recall inquiring about this same named mix-up for a different year a while back.
