2011 Ferreira

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

A nose which changes significantly over a few days, morphing from being full of really ripe melon to an earthy mineral scent. Thick texture, sweet impact with generous earthy fruit and very dry tannins. Very dry cocoa finish of good length. This is punishingly tannic today and will not be an early drinker! 91-93. Drunk over 1-4 days as part of the extended 2011 tasting.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
