2011 Ferreira LBV port
Posted: Sun Jan 12, 2020 9:10 am
Bottled 2015. Decanted 4.5 hrs (appeared to be insufficient and next bottle will be 8 hrs). A lot of small sediments at decanting. Seldom to see that much sediments in a young LBV. Deep dark red colour. Powerful aroma of berries with oak in the background and hints of something smoked. Full body. Powerful and demanding taste in spite of the fact that it is also smooth. Then minerals and dry fruit. Nice tannins. More acidity than preferred towards the end. Quite strong end of the taste. Long aftertaste. Will try again with much longer decanting time. 90 pts.
