1945 Ferreira

[Alex Bridgeman]

Pale red in colour, very light centre. Sweet on the nose, bringing quince and cinammon. Sweet and beautifully elegant in the mouth. Lots of redcurrants and a wonderful complexity all over the tongue and cheeks. A long, gentle and carressing aftertaste. This is a fabulous wine and was the best wine for drinking on the night. 94/100. A superb example of Ferreira’s style of elegance and complexity and an equally good example of the quality of the 1945 vintage.

DRT: "Oh! What is that smell?"
AHB: "Quince?"
DRT: "Yes, it definitely smells Portuguese"

I had obviously crossed that boundary between sobriety and the TPF Glow

Mid-weight, chocolate, cherry. Slightly hot with mint (ARK thought spearmint) on the end. Great juice.

Glorious rich orangey colour and went down a treat, but more than that takes my recollection into a blur..

Good wine!

Fabulous colour and a very delicate spicy nose. OMG gorgeous in the mouth. Silky smooth, great texture and very much alive. Red fruits fade into caramel and then a little worm glow. Effin gorgeous stuff. Not bad for a youngster from this house
