If you were at the Essencia do vinho and you had to make a choice: Would you rather have attended the Sogevinus Colheita or the Ferreira VP tasting?

No thanks - I like to stick to things I know, i.e. the Cruz 89

Essenca do vinho Ferreira Vintage Port Tasting

Post by Axel P »

Guys, the best tastings are these, when you do not really expect them. A Ferreira VP Tasting consisting of VP 1994, 1978, 1966, 1947, 1917 and 1863 (Garafeira).

Lucky me Part 1

Wow! What a wonderful surprise - what did you think of the wines?
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

Lucky boy!!

I could not have turned down the chance of tasting an 1863 VP so I voted for that option.

Not bad at all! If forced, I would choose the VP tasting, for the same reason as Derek.
