[500ML] Dos Pesos Carcavelos 1997

Carcavelos could be considered a "lost" wine. One of Portugal's great "vinhos generosos" (aka fortified wines), it used to share the spotlight with Port and Madeira, but gradually faded from public view in the 20th century as urbanization threatened its vineyards outside of Lisbon. Today, just 25 hectares of vines remain in the area, and they are vinified by just two producers, of which Dos Pesos is one. This 1991 vintage is a one-of-a-kind bottle procured by Sotolon Selections and is a drinkable (and delicious) piece of forgotten history at an unbelievable price.
