About this lot
Burmester Vintage Port 1960 – Extra Selected A rare and beautifully preserved mature Vintage Port from the historic house of J.W. Burmester, produced from the 1960 harvest and bottled in March 1962. Marked “Extra Selected” on the original period label, this bottle represents an increasingly scarce example of old-school Portuguese Vintage Port. After more than six decades of bottle ageing, the 1960 Burmester is fully mature, with the potential to display the complex tertiary character associated with traditionally aged Vintage Port — dried fruits, cacao, coffee, caramel, spice and evolved oxidative nuances. This example is particularly attractive for collectors, retaining its original Burmester presentation carton, period label, capsule and numbered Portuguese guarantee seal. A fascinating piece of Port wine history from one of Porto’s historic houses, now over 65 years from the vintage.

André Bicho
Raised in Portugal and educated in the United States, André has spent two decades moving between cultures, languages and cellars. His passion for fine wine and spirits began with the great Ports and table wines of his home country and grew into a wider fascination with the craft, history and provenance behind every great bottle. When he isn’t tasting or sourcing, he can be found driving the back roads of Europe in search of small producers and the stories behind their labels.
