#56, Wine Enthusiast's Top 100 Wines of 2013.
"This hugely rich yet approachable wine shows power and boldness. All the elements are there, linked by firm tannins and freshness from berry acidity. -RV" (11/13)

"Attractive young Port with crushed berries and shaved tannins. Full body, medium sweet with a lovely velvety texture and fresh fruit. This has a more delicate style to it. Try in 2020." (05/13)

90 Neal Martin - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"This sample was actually a finished wine. The 2011 Ferreira is a blend of 45% Touriga Franca, 40% Touriga Nacional, 10% Tinta Roriz and 5% Sousao, all aged in large oak wooden vats in Vila Nova de Gaia before bottling in April 2011. It has a powerful nose of baked black cherries, incense and melted dark chocolate that is very open and welcoming. The palate is full-bodied and understated on the entry, but do not be deceived, for there is a second wave of spicy, damson fruit laced with white pepper and even Szechuan pepper towards the finish. I am just seeking a little more persistency, although that may develop with bottle age. Tasted May 2013." (06/13)

Product Description:

"Lots of blueish purple. Very sweet and rich. Really plays the ripeness and sweetness card! Massive impact in the mouth and then tightens up to be a little dry and minerally on the finish. An exciting wine in a very distinctive style. Very dry finish at present. Drink from 2025 to 2050. - JR" (05/13) - 17.5 out of 20 Points, Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages.

Wine:
"This wine is the deepest crimson, almost opaque in colour. It displays great intensity, complexity and harmony on the nose. A prevalence of floral notes, especially rock-rose and heather as well as warm cedar hints from its time in oak. Spices such as pepper, with an undertone of curry, as well as some mineral notes are also in evidence. On the palate it has a lively attack, with balanced acidity, and robust and distinct tannins. Red fruits and spices, especially pepper, come to the fore during tasting." - Importer
