Very odd. Please post a picture of the label.

There is a VYX 1900 currently listed on
ebay.fr.
I have copied the pictures as the listing will disappear...

Given the modern look of the label and capsule and the fact it has a selo I think this must be a colheita.

A Colheita bottled a long time ago for that matter.

Thank you for the answers. I know about the vintage 1900 and the selo (IVP label) and I realize that that bottle is a Colheita. That was why I asked.
Do anyone know which house is behind the label? Sten

Can you post a close up shot of the main label? The one posted only focuses on the 1900. May help to see the whole front label in a close up shot as I can't read the long shot one already posted.

I dont know anything about the wine except that I had this precise bottle once late at dinner after many clarets.
tN: Suprisingly fresh nose with lots of coffee and toffee. Same on the palate. Nicely balanced with Mokka. Persistent, balanced aftertaste. I rated it 18/20 in 2011.
Best
