1960 Barbeito Bual

This is not your current bottling of the Barbeito. This was done on the island and purchased there in the old style of bottles. I have some of the newer ones too, but this offers some of the bottle stink from the juice having sat in bottle ... I'd guess since the 1980s. I purchased it in 2003 specifically for this weekend as the 1960 is my brother's birth year. I also have decanting a 1908 D'Oliveiras Bual which I typically love. We've been sipping the 1960 for two nights and it will make it 3 before we finish it off. The 1908, hopefully will last a 2nd day.
