Sipping Fine Wine

Bright Ruby color with aromas of red berry fruits, spice and floral notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and strawberry with spice, licorice and floral notes. Fine chewy tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, floral spice and slight earthy character. — 23 days ago

No problems noted despite the age. Very good, but not outstanding. The nose was great at about 30 minutes-1 hour in the glass. The nose seemed to fade over the evening, but still very nice. Acidity is notable. Earthy flavors, tobacco, dried fruit. Great experience trying a 41 year old vintage! — 22 days ago

Rich, bold, amazing! tobacco, cola, and cedar, with coffee, blueberry/blackberry, dark chocolate - sweet and savory flavors with minerality. The tannins are as sturdy, but it is balanced and light. — 3 months ago

First time trying old Ferrando. Showing a lot of secondary along with a core of vibrant fruit. Epic. Hope to try again someday. — 23 days ago

Little comparative tasting between the 17’ and 12’ vintages:
2017- deep ruby color. Aromas of blackberry, raspberry, flint and cedar. Youthful wine, loads of black fruit on the palate, spice and vanilla notes.
2012- deep ruby with garnet rim. Aromas of blackberry and blueberry. Black currant and leather and oak finish. Solid.
