1960 Ferreira

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Deep mahogany red colour, 80% opaque. Rather alcoholic on the nose with lots of leather and tobacco and huge amounts of old book dust. Balanced on the palate, but subdued and with less impact than either the Harvey 1962 or the Sandeman 1946 drunk alongside - a little woody and awkward by comparison. Sweet and modest on the finish. 86/100. Drunk 14-Dec-16.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

2026: Quinta das Carvalhas 80YO Tawny
