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

2026: Quinta das Carvalhas 80YO Tawny
