No, you didn’t. Sorry to spoil it, but in the case of Port, “Vintage” has a very specific meaning. Different than other wine, different than the usual meaning of “vintage” in non-wine contexts.
Simply, “Vintage Port” is a different thing from a single-harvest Tawny wine you had. It doesn’t spend as long in barrel as a Colheita does.

Colheita is not the same as vintage port, sorry. Still very enjoyable, though
If you want to taste really decent ports (and 40-50 year old ones) this the best festival to go to

An awesome bottle in an amazing city! If you have a chance, take a trip across the bay to Setúbal – some of the best seafood and underappreciated wines in the entire country. Unless you don’t like good seafood and/or underappreciated wines – then definitely don’t go.
