"Still owned by the Ferreira family, who sold to Sogrape in 1987 (nearly went to a multinational). Pale ruby. 'A very elegant year like all the sevens', says Luís Sottomayor. Sweet and comfortable on the nose. Fully evolved nose, less intense than the 1917 and 1847. Again, very clean and fresh! Polished. Smooth and jewel-like." Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, Apr 2019

The Late Jim Holsing Collection, Part II

Notes:	3 neck, 1 base neck, 1 very top shoulder, cracked wax capsules, 2 lightly chipped and 1 heavily chipped wax capsules, bin soiled and scuffed labels, 1 wine stained label, 1 lightly torn label, 3 signs of slight past seepage.
