2000 Ferreira LBV

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Sadly, no note of the year of bottling nor whether bottled in the traditional manner or filtered.

Solid red colour, thinning on the rim and opaque in the centre. Delicate floral nose. Sweet fruit on the palate with a wood-resin tannic core. Soft tannins and significant acidity. Restrained and soft on the aftertaste, which is a little empty. Rather a light port. 83/100.
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!
